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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

You can choose whatever pages you want for those. There is no specific page in Flyover's templates, but you can craft your own with any Page Manager plugin available out there.

Whether your users have or have not each provider's app authorization is irrelevant for GDPR purposes. In these 2 cases the following apply (Facebook is used as a provider example):
1) the user wants to deauthorize your Facebook app. He does so and if he wants to log in again he must authorize your Facebook app again.
2) the user wants to erase his MyBB data pertaining Flyover. There is no hidden data saved on your database which cannot be altered by editing his own profile. The only "hidden" data used for operational purposes is his Facebook ID – which is also hashed, thus completely anonymous already – and can be deleted by unlinking the Facebook account from his control panel. Flyover already deletes a user data when it is deleted; therefore, if you are already using Amnesia (AFAIK the only plugin allowing GDPR compliance nowadays), when your users request data deletion their Flyover-related data will be deleted as well. If you are not, then you are not complying with GDPR in the first place by not allowing your users to delete/anonymize their own accounts.
