TeddyKiller Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm just wondering.. if your a true PHPFreak and part the team.. why not put all your Freakness into a specially designed forum just for PHPFreaks rather than using a premade forum. It's just that it may show more devotion to the topic of PHP? As for allowing users to submit more suggestions on the forum and allowing the team to develope it into the forum. Rather than going through SMF? It's time consuming, but has it ever been thought about?

salathe Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm not really sure who "the team" is right now. How does using a popular, long-running piece of forum software shows any sign of a lack of "devotion to the topic of PHP"? If anything it supports the hard work that the SMF developers have put into their product and allows us to embrace open source software!

zq29 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 It has been discussed at least once before, and as far as I can remember, the outcome was "what's the point?".

Mchl Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Why don't we create our own PHP framework? That'd be freaky!

TeddyKiller Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Are you guys being serious about language creation or you just taking the P out the post ?

Mchl Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 The answer to your original question is in SemiApocalyptic's answer: 'what's the point?' Since then we're basically hijacking this thread.

tomfmason Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Bear in mind, though, that if no-one had reinvented the wheel from time to time our cars would still be running on circular discs of granite joined by a log. And while they were improving the wheel they learned how to make bearings, differentials etc. I have seriously considered starting a project like this. For example, a forum based on an industry standard(well known and easy to use) framework and a with feature set comparable to most of the more popular forums.
