Hello everyone,
Epochtalk has been in development status for many years (Millions of dollars has been sent to developers).

Rather than talking about why it's late or when it will come, I would ask why is 59 packages really needed ?
maintenance of such project would be a hell for developers and this means developers will be rent forever to keep the new forum working.

Almost every user in this forum like the classic design, they need new features. don't say that PHP is too old to run a forum, Facebook is built on top of PHP
fast and has billions of users.

development of such project using PHP wouldn't cost you a 15 000 dollars at max, and it will be super fast and secure, same for python.

So today, I will ask theymos to have the epochtalk project paused and not cancelled.
Focus on security update for the current forum, add new features.

go and search 3 expert PHP developers & 2 frontend developers for a 3k per month each for and that's a real solution.
