Title: The New Omnimaga Forums going public soon
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 29, 2008, 06:22:57 pm
If you aren't a regular #omnimaga IRC user and found this board, then welcome already. Else, I'm announcing Omnimaga will go public soon. I just need the time (and more free days) to fix some issues and re-add most files to the download section as well as create sub forums for staff projects before we go public, so we have at least some content when we do.

I am also currently hiring new staff (mostly TI programmers) at the moment, to fit open positions since a lot of the old staff no longer program for calculators or are MIA.

More news and information about the site will come soon.

As you can see, we're using Simple Machines now. I decided this because I do not feel like using Invisionfree anymore due to poor service and I don't want to use Invision Power Board 1.3 because unlike the Invisionfree's IPB 1.3 the official and unmodified one is filled with security exploits. I don't like PHPBB and I don't want to pay for IPB 2.x, which isn't much secure either, nor VBulletin, so my best choice for a professional CMS or forum system was SMF. I also got able to add a download system mod, which will allow me to get rid of the old forum-based download sections. I am also looking for a way to have a portal as main page that list lastest news.

Yeah I'll have to keep an eye on this considering it happened twice, since this is kinda borderline spam.
