Hey Chuck, welcome back! Deej was by recently to wish Rick a Happy Birthday too.
Ah, freeware. This software (FUDForum) and vBulletin were the only forum packages on the market that could import NNTP messages - really the core criteria that Kim and I had discussed (phpBB claimed to do it, but it didn't). vBulletin was expensive, this was free - the choice was made .
It's actually excellent software, the security is miles ahead of phpBB (every phpBB forum I put up was overrun by spammers within weeks). But there are less templates and plugins available as starting points for customization than there would have been with VBulletin.
I have neither the php skills nor the budget for much "under the hood" stuff besides the cosmetic, but send me a link to a forum that behaves the way you expect. If I can get clear in my head what you're looking for, I'll take a look at what I can do about configuration on this end.

Heya Chuck, no worries! I certainly didn't take that amiss at all, I'm quite serious in saying I'd be happy to tweak the forum for usability if you or anyone else has suggestions. I'm glad you've found a way to present the threads that makes more sense. My next project (on which I've been procrastinating like a mofo) is to finish a working system database now the new drivers have opened things up.
I think a Facebook page would be a great idea - if you build it I'll link it at the top, and we'll get a sticky up to make sure everyone that stops in here knows about it.
I hadn't wanted to leak anything about Mike Audet's most important development project before he did, but now everyone can see why things have been a bit quiet for the last little while

Hey Jimmy -
Quote: | 2. How many folks are still using Paris in the USA? Worldwide?
|
We arrived at a pretty solid estimate of 400-500 worldwide the last time we looked at this a year or two back.
Quote: | 3. How do Mike's plugins sound compared to Lexicon and Eventide and Kurzweil? I've got a Rumour and a Mangler SPDIF'd into Paris.
|
They sound really, really good. They're actually the DP/4 and DP/Pro algorithms ported over to PARIS (the DPs use the same processor the EDS cards do), so it's like having those units internally, and using PARIS' convertors and signal path to play them through.
