Integramod2 now KisMod!

[AM]

I second that

Frost, I truly hope you are not a part of the dev team to insult one of your forum members like this. The reference to my psychological profile was extremely uncalled for.

One of the poster mocked about the reference to getting porn visitors. So you see, the name has concerns and not just by me.

If you have to insult people because they question the name of something, then you really don't care WHY they question.

I'm not going to show someone this software if I can't have buy in on it myself. That's like me trying to be a telemarketer calling people in the privacy of their homes, knowing it annoys them. I don't sell anything, or refer anything if I problem with it. I have a problem with the new name. Period.

And since when does a vendor attack the people who question a product, and ignore their concerns and say "it will set the release date back."

I'm all for a set back on a release date. Perhaps I stand alone in this, but if you saw the name of the project I'm working on that has IntegraMOD2 installed on it.. being out on a limb by myself is not a problem. This stand is a peice of cake compared to that stand.

[Helter]

last I checked, you had to pay for coke or pepsi, and neither are made by volunteers.
Some of what have to say has merit, most just sounds like complaining. If this would truely have a negative impact on you, I believe you would have read the entire thread.

If you had read the thread, you would see that the name had been dropped. Not because it was offensive. In order for Kissmod to be offensive to anyone, Their mind would already have to be in the gutter and imagining the worst. I dont think the ppl in that state of mind are offended by anything sexual. Kismod was only dropped because it did not sound serious enough for our members.

In the future, when digging up old posts and using them as a basis for complaint, please read it thouroughly to be sure you have a point. If you want to have a voice here that will be taken seriously, then join us and be an active member and give us real input. This post is more akin to driving down the road and yelling out your window as you drive by.

*edit
This site is integramod2.com the namechange was made neccesary by the host of integramod.com When he disapeared for some months and his site was in ruins, we moved to integramod2.com
When he returned he was angry because he was not #1 anymore. He responded with a quick release of his personal version of integramod and named it Integramod2 for the purpose of creating confussion. We changed names so we could concentrate on development instead of petty bickering

[AM]

HS, I didn't know why IntegraMOD became 2 until seeing your post just now. When I downloaded the software, it was because I thought it was the newest version, and had been keeping up with the version changes as best I could.

As for the name change..sorry for missing the post on page 6. I read all but 6 and 7..even read page 8 and still saw the name conflict there...which is why I posted

As for volunteering, I do a lot of volunteer work in developing products, but I still have to listen to those who are using the products. That's the way it is. If you put a product out to be used, volunteer or not, it just comes with the territory that there will be complaints as well as compliments.

I'm still confused about whose site is whose, and whose products is whose......still can't find IntegraMOD 2, even though the banner says this is it. Still only see 141....

Sorry, but I must be to confused of a member with all the changes and the owners having to branch off and all I wanted was to find IntegraMOD 2. Wasn't expecting so much attack because of my post.

Whoever the angry guy is because he's not #1 anymore, please let him know he succeeded in his quest to confuse people.

I'm uninstalling IntegraMOD 2... not worth all this confusion.

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.

I apologize if it seemed like I was trying to be mean... wasn't trying to hurt any feelings, just trying to point you in the right direction and as a Business student in college, I always have to put in my 2 cents about business practices.

As for your choice on forum software, go with IM 1.4.1. A download link can be found on the index of integrmod.com. Download and install it and decide for yourself. Right now they're working out some small bugs with it...it was just released a few days ago, but it is truly a great software. Once the initial bugs get worked out of it, I have no doubts that this will be "THE" modded PHPBB software that people use.

you know, i have taken the time to re-read most of this thread, and i am going to put a suggestion out here for the admins and mods.

seeing as how it is mostly the new members that find this thread now, and are totally confused by it, why not move this thread to the staff forum, so as to not confuse the new members anymore?

[AM]

Flaming doesn't bother me. Perhaps the thread should be locked if no one should "bring up old posts" Considering IntergraMOD2 pointed to here, and there were no forums that showed support for IntegraMOD 2 like the other domain had, this was the only one that showed any signs of what happened to I M 2.

So apparently, there are problems with domains, software names, dev people mad at each other... etc. etc.

Perhaps also, someone can change the banner on IntegraMOD2.com to say.... it has now moved to integrmod.com and to find support for I M 2 if you have downloaded it, "click here"... we currently have only 1.41.... so all you who are using I M 2.... our dev people had spats with each other and we apologize for all the domain confusions... you can also "click here" for vBulliten.... though it's not free, at least they only have one domain. If you still choose to go to integrmod.com, enter at your own risk, and have fun finding the downloads that use to be in our old site. *mwaaahahaahahhhaaa*

Just followed the domain, and it led me here. This may be an old topic, but it's the only one I can find that had a reference to version 2. I don't even care anymore where version 2 is, or what it's now called. Like I said, it's not worth it.

Lock this post if you don't want version 2 users to come here looking for what use to be on integramod2.com, only to find when they use your search section, this is the only mention (that I could find).

[AM]

I'm still confused about whose site is whose, and whose products is whose......still can't find IntegraMOD 2, even though the banner says this is it. Still only see 141....

THANK YOU! I appreciate that.

[AM]

Amen to that... but I'm already on the Vbulliten site. Volunteer dev teams are not always the best option, and like a poster said to me.. I wouldn't hire a Webmaster that....

I will add to your comment. I won't use a product that is too confusing in domains, names, support and spatting developers.

[ZacFields]

Again, you're looking at the exact same website that used to be integramod2.com. All they did was change the domain name so as to eventually move out of the integramod name. There was never support on this site for integramod 2.0.

I know it's confusing, and that was the focal point in why the owner of integramod.com decided to come out with an integramod 2.0. Since integramod 2.0 suggests that it is a step ahead of integramod 1.4.1 when in reality they are two completely different forum softwares right now.

LIke I said before, try 1.4.1 and see how you like it. I don't know whats up with integramod 2.0... maybe they got discouraged when 1.4.1 was released and turned out to be a great software and they scrapped their own project. Who knows.. I doubt that, but at the moment it looks like they're having technical difficulties.

[ayasha]

[AM]

Zac, what domain had a forum for IntegraMOD 2? I know there was a forum for it, as well as downloadable zip files. It was IntergraMOD2.com or IntergraMOD.

If there was no forum support, then how come I have the zip files? I also know there was a specified support forum for it too or maybe it was only a thread.

I sincerely am not trying to be a whining member of the forum. I simply want to find where I M 2 went. I know there was a place to download it and discuss it otherwise, how is it that I have the zip files for it? I got busy and left the forums, I come back.... no domain. No more I M 2. No more integramod.com either. Now it's integrmod.

Ok, will the REAL dev team please stand up! LOL

Maybe I have a software that was developed by the "angry dev guy" (the one that wanted to be #1) and you guys are the real development team?

Kudos to him if he was setting out to cause confusion because he acheived it. Now I have 3 sites that have a trash version that quit working.

Cleo, you're too sweet to not give 1.4.1 a try.

[AM]

Well, at least I haven't totally lost my mind over thinking I'm the only one with I M 2.0... lol. Someone nicked "found it" also has the download, but Google does not pick up much reference to it.

The reference in foundit's site points to IntegraMod.com, which now has forbidden access to it.

I have rC2 build, and apparently I better stop looking for it because it apparently doesn't exist anymore.

I hate it when groups split up. You need a DNA test to figure out who is who.

[tmotley]

IM2.0 software was only supported by Integramod.com but there seemed to be so many glitches at that site that I stopped visiting shortly after the 'split.'

History according to my memory:

I started at Integramod.com

the site got more and more glitchy and slow

most of the devs there started up integramod2.com to offer support for IM software since wekke (integramod.com site owner) went MIA.

wekke returns, demods devs at integramod.com, and announces integramod 2.0 as his product (possibly to confuse people since ex-devs on his site worked at integramod2.com?)

integramod.com has been glitchy or down ever since

integramod2.com, wanting to separate itself from that mess, rebranded as kismod.com then, after some 'issues' with that name, rebranded as integrmod.com

All along, this site has offered great technical assistance and now a great product with 1.41 release

[AM]

tmotley, now I have been informed of what happened to Integramod.com, I realize that I have a very bad version of the software, which may have been intended to create confusion to mess up the rest of the dev team's products.

I'm uninstalling it right now.

However, I'm still going to stand by my previous post about the name of the software. Apparently, it is still an issue or there wouldn't be this much posting about it. The download section still says "kiss portal". Posters still refer to it as KisMOD.

I'm only going to install it on my own domain for now, and will wait until the name issue is cleared up once and for all.

Yes, it is a big deal to me... let's just leave it at that ok? Some people it's features. Some people it's names. Some people could care less about either.

Sorry to bring up such a touchy subject, but just remember, not everyone knows about the split you guys. I thought I was downloading the latest, greatest new version of IM. I didn't know until today that there are actually 2 separate teams going on.

So, may I point the admins to cleo's earlier post and ask that you close this thread, move it, lock it or something, so people who return to the old domain after being to busy to work on IntergraMOD and have to leave the forums for a bit, decide they have time to work on it again and find this thread.... and be confused all over again?

I now have 1.4.1 and before I throw in the towel on this team, I'll just chalk it up as I have been "had" by a disgruntled developer. *blush*

I remember the original domain too, and that it was so slow it would time out on my browser.

Cleo defused me! LOL.

I'm very sorry for getting upset.
