Agreed with Helter,
You keep making reference to this topic being confusing for you. If you didn't want to take the 5-10 minutes it would (or should) take to read through this topic, then why would you risk looking foolish by bringing up a topic that was actually closed a long time ago and already has about 3 pages of people just talking about random stuff? This topic would not be confusing to you if you had read through it before posting. And in the time you've spent trying to defend yourself you could have read through it 5 times.
I'm going to do my best to explain this to you to help end confusion:
"IntegraMod2 now KisMod" is actually referring to the domain name "IntegraMod2.com." After this topic started, for a short time the domain was KisMod.com. People didn't like the domain name, so (I assume) they scrapped it and looks as though they decided on E-Tegra, which I think would be an excellent name.
The original owner of IntegraMod.com (his name escapes me at the moment) would dissappear for long periods of time and be of little help in the development of the software, so some of the developers decided that the best way to take this project to a new level, and to give the customers what they desire and need was to branch off to IntegraMod2.com and continue developing the software on their own.
The original owner came back and realized this, and then decided he would continue the project on IntegraMod.com by himself. To make matters more difficult, he decided to name his new release "Integramod 2.0" knowing that on this site, they were developing "IntegraMod 1.4.1."
So at that point, the developers here decided they needed to make a name change to help with the confusion. KisMod was one of the ideas...there were actually a lot more ideas floating around also. People didn't really like the name KisMod, so they decided against changing the name to KisMod.
IntegraMod 1.4.1 was released a few days ago, and it is an excellent forum software. Still working out some very minor problems but it includes something called "CrackerTracker" which I think is single-handedly the most amazing modification ever created for PHPBB forums. In addition, if you've ever heard of anyone having problems with spambots registering, even through the part in registration where you have to enter the numbers/letters matching the image, IntegraMod 1.4.1 prevents most, if not all of that.
Before upgrading, I would get a new spambot approximately every 2 hours all day long. I had to get extra moderators to keep those topics off my boards because many of them contained links to websites with viruses in them. Since upgrading a few days ago, I have not had one spambot successfully register on the forums.
So I hope this helps to end your confusion. I apologize if you feel flamed by some of the responses, but often times that's the kind of response you can expect when you bring up an old old topic like this for the purpose of complaining about something that has been long since dealt with.
