For those who know that's a project I was working on this summer then sort of dumped the idea thinking I'd be too busy in college, but I decided I might keep working on it, and just not make it public as much. (I may post progress here but that's about it)

Also I might change the name to something more "corporate" sounding. So if anyone has ideas post them here. It also has to be something that's unique. Like if you type it in google it should not bring up any results having to do with a message board system.

Corporate Sounding, eh? How about "EnronBBS" or "Copyright BBS"?

Oh and I'm actually working on it right now. I'm rebuilding the whole authentication system for forum permissions, the one I had was too complicated, and was giving me headaches. But once it works, it will prove well since it will allow to do stuff that no BB systems I know of, can do, user based forum permissions.

Yep I might go with that... but the name will only be decided at release time.
I still need to refamiliarize myself with the code base since I did not look at it in long. The last thing I want to do is start changing variable names to acomodate the new board name. (not that the vars matter but I want the names to make sense lol)

I'll keep the same color, but I'll just change the logo. But that will all be decided once I release. When someone get's banned it will say something like "the admin set you up the bomb"

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Just got the permissions working much better then before, without an extra sql query required. This change will make things SO much easier when editing permissions/forums.

LOL I just thought of something funny, I should call it NikeBBS and the slogan can be "Just post it!". And I can register "justpostit.com" as the main site, oh and the logo definatly has to be a nike swoosh too, but with a cursor or something.

Another few ideas that poped to mind:
- Zero Bulletin
- Zig Bulletin
- Bomb Bulletin (might get confiscated by the US goverment though)
- WMD Bulletin (very bad!)

i donno if its just me but you should try and make it so its eazy to skin to match the site its being used for no? or are you already set up like that? cuz orange would not look good with the blue site layout here

Well the skin is something I'll worry about once it's ready to be released. The default will probably be orange because too many forums use blue for default, but for here it will be a blue skin similar to this one, if the same.
