One thing I have to say - I feel for the Forum developers who worked on the core Forum module all these years so hard... I hope they get a cut of the profits for their efforts!

 

In fact, the DNN Forum project has always been developed/maintained part-time by a single developer - Chris Paterra. Chris is a DNN Corp employee who spends his day job working on custom tools for our Community outreach and collaboration initiatives. He is excited about the acquisition of Active Forums, as it provides a lot of robust functionality which we can utilize in our environment ( I expect Chris to post a Blog of his own shortly on his perspective of the acquisition ). As far as a cut of the profits, that cut may be a little slim as ActiveForums will ultimately be a free, open source solution ;)

 First of all, only a part of AF is going open source not all. Active Forum's main feature, the mail connector, that makes it unique is not going open source.

Thanks Greg: Guess what - I stopped being self-employed and got a job after 4 years of working way to hard for way to little money ;)  This means no time on poker or coding!

I have been stealthily browsing the forums now and again but I am still running 5.2.2 (my upgrades always fail!) and have not done in DNN dev in over a year (Working on Silverlight - love it ;) Still want the best for the DNN community though and AS was key to my integration plans on PokerDIY (still not making any money).

I think your comments highlight something - this is obviously great news for all existing PE/ENT customers - they just got a lot more value for their buck.

I still think a tier for hobbyists is a simple solution to this problem! Anyone care to comment on this?

As a owner of AS could someone PLAINLY tell me what features of AS I am going to loose. It's been stated 'most' of AS will be open source/community edition. So what features are you planning on removing?
