POP Forums v8: Now available for download!
As I mentioned a little more than a week ago, I was getting close to a point where I felt POP Forums v8 was ready for public consumption. Well, the time has come! You can download the bits here:
I've decided that I will charge a license fee for the app, but only if you see value in using it. For that reason, you can download all of the code up front, before you decide whether or not to buy. As a company of two people, naturally I can't provide a giant support structure around the product, so I think it's a fair arrangement to charge for it only after you've seen what you're getting into.
This is the first beta, though it has been running on a production site since November. A number of minor bugs have been squashed, and I'm very happy with the performance thus far.
I've been asked several times why I have this available at all, in a crowded market, and the truth is that I built it for my own use first. That has been the case since way back in 1999 with the old ASP version. Selling it is the gravy. With that said, you better believe that I want the potatoes to be top notch, because my own communities depend on them.
Happy experimenting!
