How do you work that out? As explained above, donations are not used to pay staff and next to nobody is donating. Staff are paid exclusively out of advertisement revenue and donations continue to be used in development of the new forum software.

How can revenue and donations continue to be used in development of the new forum software? The forum software is FREE open source!!

The version used by this forum (SMF 1.1.19) has not been updated here for years even though plenty of free updates and versions have been released: http://www.simplemachines.org/

I do not accept that the "bitcoin donations are going towards development of the forum" when the forum is downloaded for free yet the people running this forum are not updating it.

There should be clarity about where the donations are going and who is using the donations and for what purpose.

Do you even English? The new forum software that is in development. You know, the one with an entire sub forum in Meta dedicated to its development: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=167.0

This one isn't been updated for this exact reason. No point wasting time on it.

When the software will actually be ready or not is another matter but this is the latest info I could find:

http://epochtalk.org/

Those who know (Slickage team members), one of the following answers (if possible) would be highly appreciated.
No
Yes
It's planned
It's not planned

Thank you so much and keep up the nice work

All of the above! (jk)

Planned for release before the end of the year and finishing migration in 2018. This stuff is incredibly sensitive because we don't have access to the full database and we're migrating data based on a running system.

If you have any issues on the development. Please submit something here or on Github.

Thanks for the nice words!
