Yes. Also the creators of the engine behind the "Duke Nukem Forever" game, sometimes refered to as "Duke Nukem for Never."


This is more or less the accepted deffinition of "Vapor Ware."


To be more specific about the delivery date, probably not for a long time. I've hit a time in my life where I will be very busy and I may not have much time to spend on coding-for-fun in the near future. I expect things to get a little easier by next summer.

What new skin?

There has long been discussion of changing the appearance of the forums, abandoning the "Lite" and "Dark" skins altogether in favor of a single design. Designs are in the works, but they are also a lot of work. Thus it will be some time until the change is made.

maybe you should draft some of our more tallented artists to help with the artistic part of the new skin. Of course, because of the nature of the project, it wouldn't be wise to enlist more than 2 people...

Actually, I think the artistic part has more or less been decided (at least I recall approving a number of designs). As far as I understand it, the main issue is coding it to work with vB databases.
