It'll be interesting to see what happens, particularly since both domains were renewed for another year.
Especially with Corey since I still believe he's always had good intentions,
and still does, I think what happens with this domain will be determined by what Dandello decides to do with YaBB's development. I say this with the presumption that Corey meant what he's publicly stated, and that he'll stick to his word.
For those who may not know, Corey has publicly asked for others to step up to the plate so that he doesn't have to do everything on his own. I think that's a well deserved request that should be respected, and even honored because of his history with YaBB.
In a very public way, Dandello has indeed stepped up to the plate with Corey's public request. As things stand now, she has the ability, and in my opinion, the right to move YaBB off to another
official chat and support community if in fact Corey doesn't support her by forging a partnership with this domain.
As I've publicly mentioned before (
including by email to Corey directly), Dandello has more than earned the privilege of being the new admin of this domain. A hint of how well she'd administer this forum can be seen in
her YaBB 2.5.4 Alpha (RC1) forum.
Ironically, even though Dandello is a staff member here in this YaBB Chat and Support Community, she's once again had her access blocked because of a software glitch of this YaBB Next Edition software, which was long ago abandoned, and obviously needs to be swapped out for a stable version. I think this is the 2nd time this has happened to her.
I had the same thing happen to me, but I was fortunate enough to have had that access restored within a couple of weeks. I still had access through a proxy, but that has its limitations as anyone who uses a proxy well knows.
If it's any consolation, YaBB can still be alive and well even if just one of us continues to use its software.
