  • Ahoy, once more, ye scurvy Zikula landlubbers!

    Simon

    I'm a little sad you don't like our new layout, because I personally think the site has never been easier to navigate and use.


    Back when I first started using the PostNuke forums, they were both easier to navigate - plus, they had the added bonus of lots of people using them on a daily basis. How few new threads since I last visited is a telling sign, no matter what attempt various parties attempt to put on it. Then, too, there is only one other registered user online here at the same time that I am. That's a sign of increased popularity compared with the old days? The bleeding edge, indeed.

    It's like sailing through a graveyard, here, now.

    The Curse of Zikula. Aye.

    Probably because

    a. Zikula is more self-explanatory
    b. documentation is better than in the Postnuke days
    c. Support is more diversified by country (e.g. a strong German community)
    d. More ways of communication (not limited to this forum)
    e. ...

    The party takes place all over - not just in the forums... woohoo

    Easier to navigate possibly, but mainly because there was less to navigate.

    You're entitiled to your opinion, but I'd say the evaluations are valid. documentation is more robusts, not there yet, but better.

    Numbers active don't tell the whole story, and you should know that.

    Depends on which "old days" you refer to, the John Cox days or the period after the great schisim? You have to figure we lost a lot in the days after the big fork to Xaraya, a peek over there has shown the people who followed there stayed. At that point things stagnated for a long time with PostNuke, and that is responsible for the loss of activity, not the name change or anything else. Drak would have to do any statistical analasys, or at least provide them, if available, but I'm seeing more activity over all now than in recent years, maybe it's not the same as the Mutant days and early Phoenix days, but its definitly improved now that things have picked up. Gotta figure we lost a good bit of the established user base to the new kids on the block, Joomla, Drupal, etc. Now we've got to build up the buzz more, which is helped by people looking forward, not backwards.

    Don't recall, did you do any development back in the day? As someone who did under Early .7x and is getting back to it now, it's a lot better now.

  • Why is this thread digged up again?? There are so many useful and interesting forum topics since march last year that this seems to me like an "everything was better in the past" statement. Better done with a beer and in a cafe than in the IMHO good and alive forums. But that's just my opinion icon_wink

  • Agreed. dropping in to say hi is one thing. dropping in to piss all over everyone is uncalled for. thread locked.
