Through the Eyes of a Web & Software Developer
14 Feb
Not too long ago I decided to go open-source with my MyCustomBB bulletin board software. I couldn’t bear requiring licenses for it - I’m not that type of guy. I’ve wanted to create an open-source project for a while - a way to give back to the open-source community - so here it is.
Though open-source, the project’s design has not changed. It will still be the professional, completely customizable bulletin board that I originally intended. My goal is to give it all the features of current bulletin board systems, except make them a tad bit better. This will be an open-source alternative to major competitors such as vBulletin and InvisionBoard. Why do I think it will be better? Well, this is my passion. Those other guys seem to just be out to make money. I’m out to start communities.
