UBB.classic and UBB.threads Product Update

As you may know, for some time now, we have been working on a new downloadable message board product to replace our current UBB.classic and UBB.threads message boards. This project has taken much more time than we had orginally hoped and along the way the requirements for the product have shifted.

While the new product was originally designed to replace UBB.classic and UBB.threads, we wound up using much more of the core design of UBB.threads. Thus, we are now considering the new product an upgrade of UBB.threads, rather than a replacement.

What is Happening to UBB.classic?

UBB.classic will no longer be developed, and an end-of-life date has been set for June 15, 2006. From that date forward we will no longer develop or offer support for UBB.classic.

UBB.threads Version 7.0 will be released as an alpha on May 10, 2006. The public beta version is expected to be released on June 15, 2006.
The upgrade to UBB.threads 7.0 will require a data import. It is not a simple software update from UBB.threads Version 6.
UBB.classic is being terminated, effective June 15th. UBB.classic license holders may continue to use the product, but development and support will cease on that date.
