Skimming through those makes me so nostalgic...
I can feel you, but that spirit will never died,
we are still here...
Next time somebody complains about the version of SMF on bitcointalk.org, I have a great excuse!
Hopefully the 1.1.x line is mature and updates are infrequent. We
shouldn't upgrade to 2.0. I made a ton of customisations that wouldn't
be compatible, and I kind of prefer the look of 1.1 over 2.0 anyway.
I can understand that there is people who don't like it, but for me it looks good as it is, i like so much this forum style, pretty simple and clean and everything works as expected.
