I can't - I'm a moderator, I have no access to the forum backend, nor phpmyadmin. While I registered this domain and host the static content, Microgroove, the last active dev actually hosts this forum. I can email him and inform him of the revived interest.

That would be great, lottos.

On the off chance that some random fella owns it, I've registered xmbforums, which isn't as ideal but close enough.

Yeah @lottos you should consider emailing him about it as I'd really like to see him on the team again. :3

@Mark Oh, cool.

No complaints. Sounds good! I've been a professional full-stack dev for the last 6 years now, maybe thinking about having a relook at XMB, and seeing if I can jazz it up with some more advanced features.

XMB can use great people like you and Xian again for sure so I hope you guys do so. Glad to hear career is going well too. Don't be a stranger and please keep in touch.

XMB would use them, but would never abuse them. :3

lottos, did you get a chance to send an email to microgroove?

Yes, got a response too!

yeah saw some code posted to the bug tracker. quite a bit actually. I'll try to look within a week. Life's been crazy with the hurricane and work and other projects.

NICE!

I'm literally fanboying inside hoping for the best. Was miqrogroove caught up in the hurricane (or a relative/friend), then?

Also, @Mark, are you gonna commit the 1.9.12.4 stuff to the github repository you made?

Looking back, Daniel had a nice looking version that appeared to be possibly responsive then he disappeared...

From some of the screenshots he posted showing his desktop, looks like he was/is on Facebook.

Also if this is him, he did another php project: https://github.com/DanielGouveia

I'm not permitted to view that thread, apparently.

Still says the same thing... mind moving it into social discussions?

Sheesh! Should be viewable now!

I think it looks a bit too modern to be XMB 1.x series, but it looks really good anyway.

Maybe some of the features given could be worked as hacks or for the future 2.0 release? It'd be nice if the 2.0 release was a complete rewrite of the codebase to comply with modern PHP standards while being lightweight and fast for many users and packed with features. x')

When I get some free time and look on tutorialspoint for a PHP tutorial I will definitely start learning and contributing back to this community. I already managed to refer a friend (MoonlightCapital) to the community and he might be able to help out somewhat, although his PHP skill is fairly limited in terms of flexibility.

It will be - 100%

I hope it is just as awesome and stays true to 1.x series of XMB forum.

Yeah, Daniel did say in one of his posts later in the topic that it would be v2.

Oh, nice. Well I hope it lives up to the XMB name once the v2 is re-developed.

Hello, I am currently employed as the lead systems engineer (a game server hosting company startup). Although my job at PHS primarily focuses on maintaining servers, I have been a long time XMB user/PHP & SQL developer (in addition to C#, C/99 and VB.NET).

I was disheartened to see XMB taking the turn it was, and am very excited to see interest in the project once again.

I would love to help in any way I can!

Cool! Hope you stick around, we're all a nice bunch who have remained loyal to xmb and now that something is happening I hope you can be a useful member of the team.
