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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

modularity/features

This issue is marked as solved
speaking with @Shade I know the code is being rewritten for bankpipe. what I'd like to see is it being made more modular so that it's easier to use and more efficient. By modular I mean being able to control facets of bankpipe that currently require core edits to the plugin and such. these could easily get overwritten when bankpipe is updated, which would be annoying.

I'd like to see some of this:
- the PM message an admin gets when someone purchases something
- the way the cost is written. for example, on my forum (USA based), it lists the cost as 20$. In America, we write that as $20
- send the admin a PM when a subscription expires
- send the user a thank you PM after their purchase is completed. the admin should be able to configure what is sent out via PM and use stuff like {username} {subscription} {board name} {board url} etc. to tailor the PM some more
- the ability to link to a specific subscription in /bankpipe.php
