Yeh, this amazed me just this morning. 3722 messages and 391 members in such a short time is amazing.That's a fact. Just enough to see the number of posts that have been published in, one or two days?. You guys are amazing.
There has to be a modification community that can expand the software and allow integration with other software. Same with theme/layout creators.
Support has to do more than link you to documentation. Much more involved support like Invision Power Board would be wonderful.
Should be able to handle large traffic and with little resources.
Customization. As in the ability to turn nearly everything off to keep the forum simple.
Security.
I'd personally want an official gallery add on, link directory, RSS feed index for external feeds, and tagging for images/topics.
I will say that we have been leaning heavily towards an owned-license-plus-yearly-renewal scheme that resembles the way that vBulletin used to be licensed, rather than a pay-per-version model.

Agreed. To be fair though, they also have gotten a -lot- of free advertisements of course.That shows 2 things -
#1 - Mike and Kier's reputation for excellent forum software development
#2 - the level is dissatisfaction with other forum software (mainly you-know-who).
Yep, that's what I meant by their reputation. The high expectation from people of these two is justified, because of their quality work in the past.It also shows a third thing, it's that even though there are high expectations, they are also justified, otherwise it wouldn't go this fast (especially with this many positive posts and topics).
You can install VirtualBox on your computer and install XP with IE6 and see it for yourself. It's like computer inside of computer.
Time will tell, but it sure as hell looks good. (hence this topic, of course.)Yep, that's what I meant by their reputation. The high expectation from people of these two is justified, because of their quality work in the past.
Seriously, IMHO, you can't get any better product, than one produced by these two.
Regarding IE6 support. The product works very well.
All they need is a png fix for the transparent images.
In that case, I would have to argue for <$150 especially during the early adopters pre-sale considering:During the early adaptation might be the incorrect time to be priced more than either vb or ipb. Ipb is $150, and with different periodic sales, less.
Personally, I'd like to see this software be extremely popular.

Here's a screenshot for those really interested in IE6 compatibility.

Don't even need that. Just need to turn most of our PNGs into PNG-8s with alpha transparency instead of PNG-24s. IE6 will simply make any pixel with <100% opacity be completely transparent. It doesn't always look amazing, but it's better than the boxes.
