If not, I don't understand why we're going to have to use it.
And if it does have all of the features and functionality of IM Portal, then what else does it have that IM Portal doesn't?
In other words, what can KISS Portal do that IM Portal can't??
KISS PORTAL is based on phpBB3, while IntegraMOD is based on phpBB2.
In time, support will fade away for phpBB2, however, I don't expect it to happen too soon.
There are too many users using MODDED versions of phpBB2 (not only integraMOD) for that...
KISS PORTAL will be more stable, more secure, faster and more effective in usability, but it will take some time before additionals MOD's will be developed and stable...
Therefore I agree to stay with integraMOD for time to come...
IntegraMOD has already proven it's qualities while it KISS PORTAL is just starting...
Michaelo is doing a great job on KISS PORTAL and will always be know as the first phpBB3 portal modder...
That will also make a lot of impression in the future...
KISS PORTAL also attracts developers to the challenge of creating MODs for the new phpBB3
Alltogether, it makes a wonderfull start for the future...
But for now, most users will keep using IntegraMOD for it's proven qualities...
I can compare it with wine...
IntegraMOD has reached best quality by age of development, and because of the early start with KISS PORTAL (while phpBB3 not even released) it will reach that quality sooner than any other...
KISS PORTAL will always be know as the first and Michaelo will have the longest experience with phpBB3... that certainly counts for something...
But as with wine, I will also wait untill it can prove it's good quality and stability by age of development...
By then, it will also have more developed MODs and become even better than integraMOD...
That's at least something very nice to look foreward to... <img>
