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 The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.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

When you finish the Bank Pipe stuff here are some ideas for this awesome plugin.

1. Make a scrubber display optional. Eg. user can select if they only want infinite scrolling, or to have a scrubber on the side as well.
2. If the scrubber is disabled, then pagination should be present where the user can click on the page number and get there without page refresh. (Maybe via XHR or ajax)
3. Endless scrolling toggleable if a user wants to have infinite scrolling or just want to have no page refresh on pagination.

Pagination with AJAX support is out of Endless' scope, more like a ThunderBoard beta 6 feature which, by the way, is somewhat planned as making the whole board a single-page application is honestly too much with the current codebase.

The scrubber can be made optional, although it's the functionality which makes Endless worth installing IMHO.

Oh, didn't know about that plugin. Well, I wouldn't go as far as making whole board single page app, just pagination should be enough so it doesn't break rest of the plugins/functions.

I guess then, there's no point of making scrubber optional if you don't have pagination visible.
