Farewell

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I announce that I cease all development and activity in the programming universe indefinitely. My career has reached the turning point I was not expecting for at least another year, leaving me highly off guard and without laid-out plans for this hobby's continuity. I have begun a 5-year residency program in Neurosurgery which is clearly not compatible, time-wise, with programming.

I gave in all my passion for developing, and you gave me back your loyalty and trust, even when I did not deserve that much. Now it is the time for payback. I release all my present and past work as Open Source software, in the hope some talented developer will continue maintaining and expanding my vision of a modern, sleek forum software. The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.

I hereby thank Euan, kawaii, andrewjs18, Ben, Matt, Omar G., effone, Eric J., Devilshakerz, Wildcard, JordanMussi and all the other team members I have had the opportunity to work with when I was a MyBB team member. I thank Tomm M, my mentor, who inspired me to pick up coding with his piece-of-art plugins. And finally, I thank all of you MyBBoost subscribers who have helped me getting through my toughest university years economically.

Yours sincerely, Filippo

About the pw/username issue

This issue is marked as solved
I had posted a support thread in the mybb forums a while ago and since we figured out that Flyover is causing this, i thought to post the issue here, so it won't be forgotten.

The issue is: If you register and you're username is the same as your password, you won't be able to login anymore, after registeration has been completed.

Related support thread: https://community.mybb.com/thread-206392.html

Would be nice if you can fix it, once you have time again.
I'd also appreciate if you could fix the Drafts AutoSave bug alongside, which i had reported some time ago.

Thanks!

Sure thing @Brenda :) I guess this has been already patched on my local version of Flyover anyway, so it won't be adding more time into the making.

I can have a temporary break from my studies this weekend so it's likely I will release it soon.

Still struggling with my studies, sorry. Might be a matter of another couple of weeks unfortunately.
