Here's the thing:

Post #364,805 by malraux 9/30/12 9:38:25 PM Reply	Here's the thing: As soon as I start accepting money for working on it, I become beholden to the people paying the money. Right now I can just say, meh, screw it, I've got better things to do. Or if I want to work on it some, I can pick what to work on, and how to do it. Not that I couldn't use the income right now. I'm just not ready to go that far for it. ;-) Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

I won't make payment requiring certain milestones. I'm not managing the project. I just saying... here, take my effing money and make this work better. Even if you improve the thing in imperceptible ways (and YES, I'm a 100% kind of job of that type)... its still worth the friggin money to me. You gotta remember, I'm all about working better... perhaps not functionality improvements, but work-ability means more to me than most.

At this point, it's a pet project; a side project. We both have other things that take up far more of our time, and I honestly don't think that either of us -- individually or together -- are willing, ready, or able to sink more time into the code for the foreseeable future. It's not the world's greatest piece of forum software. But by and large, it works.

I'd like to install it locally and see what I could do with it. (Probably sometime around 2015 when I find some copious free time.) Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/
