Link Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi everyone,The reason I'm posting here today is because Eclipse needs help in order to switch forum software! The new IPB license will cost somewhere around 200$ I'm asking the community to help raise that! Eclipse is setting a donation goal of 200$ in order to complete the switch. After the switch real development of the website can begin as MyBB is holding us back from any plans of promotion or anything along those lines. For those who do donate all you'd have to do is send me a message, you'll get a new group on the new site and you'll also have access to something in store that other members wont be able to get their hands on easily and of course my gratitude. That is all I can release for now. The people who donated will be listed in this topic and elsewhere so that they may claim their prize on the new site.You can find the donation button on the right side of the shoutbox or message me for details. Thank you.Donations:CMFiend420 : 3$Benjo: 10$Marsh: 10$Matt: 10$ussenterprise: 10$FaKku : 10$Puregamemale : 40$coffeeraptor: 17$Regards, Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeNjO Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I would donate, But seems you were more than happy to ask for donations but not spend the time to fix the URL / respond on the other thread. I'll donate when this is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puregamemale Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 i donate 20 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyss Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Lol. Yeah sure, I'll donate after I made money from this pyramid scheme I'm investing in. Got any more places to spend my money wisely? Bitcoin?Maybe you want to start investing time and effort yourself before you ask for donations? The only thing that changed in these past months is that there are less supported engines, the search button went missing and less people believe in the future of eclipse. What about that engine that was in development? Gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'm fully aware that donating perks are donating perks. I'm also fully aware that you're not obligated to be 100% transparent to us about absolutely everything. However, as a non web-developer, I would like to have at least a brief idea on how our current forum software is limiting us, and how the desired forum software will remove those limitations, before throwing money for the license.

Andiii Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 What happen to the prople who donated and were placed into donator groups before the switch from IPB to this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puregamemale Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 @'Andiii':> What happen to the prople who donated and were placed into donator groups before the switch from IPB to this one?I have seen some users with donator Rank, but i think some Ranks are Dominate the others, who donated can normally change the group, an has his or our options idk. I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 The were many features we wanted to implement that the developers find it more complicated to do through MyBB such as profile customization, social media integration and many more features that could be named. Things like recent donations and donation goals and things like that were also much easier to do in IPB. Also I enjoy IPB more for design. There were more things that aren't capable of being done in MyBB that need to be done, but with all due respect again that would kind of spoil the surprise. To my understanding IPB is less developer friendly, but better feature wise and even though MyBB is ok for developers it seems to still limit capabilities. I would rather have switched to SMF over it, but in the end the choice is IPB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuko Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 It's not that mybb is limited, but there should be no reason for us to have to work months on features that won't be used if they can be put up within minutes on IPB with its variety of pre-made plugins and see if it is used or not.I do agree with what you said, the limited part of mybb is just not wanting to do hours of work when everything wished by this community and Link can be done in seconds on IPB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Alright, fair enough. What happens if the quota is not met? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm mostly hoping for support from the community, but in the end if we don't have enough I'll probably just have to pay the rest out of pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
