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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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
I mean the approach should not be using newpoints to purchase items, but instead to use bankpipe to purchase newpoints.ProX,
For example: Input field where user can enter for example number of points they want to add to their account and then bankpipe should count 1 point = x $, so if user enters 20 points = x$ as checkout.
Yup, this is actually possible. It can be added. Requests are usually limited to subscribers or customers though.
Not necessary to buy it immediately, I would probably do it anyway as others might have requested it before IIRC. Just bear in mind that purchasing an item does not mean it will speed up things, which depend on my free time. Anyway, all purchases benefit from free upgrades. I may make this clearer in the docs.Purchased :)
(PS: if I were you, I would go for the Ultimate subscription, which gives you peace of mind and access to the whole paid plugins section, including future top tier plugins. It's -15% off too until 11/8, so just 12€ more than buying BankPipe only. Apply ETHEREAL2 code before checking out).
