I don't think she's saying theres anything you can do about that. It is unfortunate that people don't choose the software because of lack of user support, but I would probably do the same thing. Once MyBB becomes more popular and gets a larger following people will start to make more mods and themes for it.

Yeh, we had a staff meeting a while ago, and we talked about perhaps google ads and stuff like that, but I doubt it really makes that much of a difference.

We also talked about a Modders Doc API but again I doubt that would make much difference.

The reason I think SMF/phpBB are more popular, atleast partly, is because they are on Fantastico on cPanel. We inquired about this but they said when version 3 came out we'd be able to make our own and I guess they'd add it once we made our own. I'm not sure though.

But yeh... as time goes on we will all get bigger.

That's the way I take it and I completely agree with him. It has nothing to do with the developers. It has to do with a serious lack of 3rd party modification.

There's been an inability to attract talented "modders" (or whatever you wish to call these folks). Many have left. Few have come to replace them.

Free or not. Doesn't matter.

It's just not catching on enough nowadays for modification makers and theme designers to make the switch and/or contribute to MyBB, I guess.

I has very little to do with the developers or the current modding community (the 2 or 3 that are actually active), themselves. It has a lot to do with forces that can't be controlled or predicted by anyone at this point.

Doesn't make it any less of a quality piece of software and doesn't reflect on the developers, but it does frustate many.

Yup, that is what I was getting at.

MyBB has to get more people to help out with skins, mods and those things or chances are they won't grow as much as they'd want to in my opinion.

It's a catch 22, people don't come because of the lack of mods/skins, these modders/skinners also don't come because of the mod/skins. I think that the forum script market is very competitive. How about offering some money for the most popular mod requests/skin requests. That's about the only thing I can think of that would be a good incentive for people to start creating on your platform.

Ya catch 22 ... Maybe we could offer some sort of modder competition or something like that and offer surprises.
