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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

demoting users after expired subscriptions

This issue is marked as solved
it seems as though when bankpipe demotes a user after they failed to renew their subscription, rather than changing their primary user group to the newly demoted usergroup, it'll just change their secondary usergroup as the demoted user group and leave their primary user group as it was originally. this kind of defeats the purpose of demoting a user account.

also, it seems like bankpipe changes the 'display user group' option from 'use primary user group' to the actual user group the user was originally in.

ideally if a user was demoted, it'd change their primary user group to the demoted user group and have the display user group set as 'use primary user group' so it's not confusing.

Yes, as long as you can access the usergroup manager in the UCP, you can change the display group as an user.

that just seems like a bad idea to me!

Blame MyBB, not me ahahahah I think there should be an option somewhere to restrict access though.

well, I will say that an on/off or yes/no option in bankpipe will be nice to take care of that issue.
