... can we have a status report please guys as to where the upgrade is up to?

[AM]

I went to the Inetgramod2.com site and it pointed me to integrmod.com. I had downloaded IM 2, but had only installed one site, and left the forums for a while because I got busy.

I just installed another version of IM 2 yesterday, but the news feature doesn't work, so I came to this new site to get help; HOWEVER, no IM 2 support forum. I figured you guys just haven't transferred all the forums over yet, so I was going to post a general topic to get help. That's when I found this thread.

All I can say is I will not set up any more IM projects for my customers if you use the KisMOD name. Sorry. With today's generation and all the sexual commercials on TV, in ads, and other places, I have had it as far as marketing products because of this. KisMOD is a horrible name, even though you don't mean it to be "kiss", that's what it sounds like. I will not tell my customers the name of your product.

I don't have time to read 8 pages worth of posts on this name, so if you have chosen another name, I'll gladly be flamed for this post.

So, does this mean there is no more help for IM 2 installations? Do I now have to go download 141? Will you still be upgrading IntegraMOD for those of us who refuse to use a product called KisMOD?

[ayasha]

if you are truly at a fresh installation of Integramod, then i would suggest this post

http://www.integramod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2661

(does anyone ever read the portal page and the news that is posted there?)

and to address the name of KissMod, it stand for Keep It Simple and Smart.

it is the portal that Michaelo is developing for phpbb3/Olympus which has not been released to the public yet as a final release.

i just don't get why so many people have gotten up in arms about this name.

phpbb3/Olympus is so totally different from phpbb2.

and from what i have read on the phpbb2 support forum about this new version of phpbb, there is already about 3 portal systems being developed for it.

i might get flamed for saying this, but with all the options that there appears there is going to be for a portal system for phpbb3, i think you can find one that would make you happy.

i for one, thinks that Michaelo has done a fabulous job in developing this portal, and i am not so petty as to speak out so loudly about someones portal system.

some of you guys reactions has reminded me so much of my teenage sons, and like i tell them, if you do not like it, you do not have to use it.

the support for Integramod will always be here, or at least until phpbb2 has been totally phased out, like with any software or program.

First off, if you are using IM 2.0, you are most certainly in the wrong forum.

Right now you are on integrmod.com. IM 2.0 is on IntegraMod.com. The software we currently have available here is IntegraMod 1.4.1 .

There was an altercation between the owner of IntegraMod.com and most of his developers, so his developers created IntegraMod2.com so that they could continue the project on their own. Knowing a name change was needed to avoid confusion (much like your confusion of looking for 2.0 support on this forum) KisMod was one fo the names that was thought up for the software.

However, as you can see by the domain name "E-Tegra.com" the name of the software doesn't appear to be changing to KisMod. (Though I don't know that for sure)

As for you needing a certain name to tell your customers about before setting them up with a software... well I have my own reservations about that. Personally I'd never hire someone to build a website for me who would ignore the features and abilities of a web .script because he didn't like the name of it.

I second that

Why don't you show them the software? Show them this site and even this particular thread

[AM]

(does anyone ever read the portal page and the news that is posted there?)

Yes...as a matter of fact I read. And I also did a search in Google and in this site for the error I ran across and didn't find one. I'll ignore the insult that I didn't read first.

and to address the name of KissMod, it stand for Keep It Simple and Smart.

It doesn't matter what your acronym stands for. When it is KisMOD, people only hear the word and see it, and it sounds childish for a professional software and the name does not suit the software; hence, the post a previous member stated as to whether or not the name will bring in visitors from porn sites.

So you see... I am NOT the only concerned about the marketing. I read the first 2 pages of this thread before even posting here.

i just don't get why so many people have gotten up in arms about this name.

See my comment above.

i might get flamed for saying this, but with all the options that there appears there is going to be for a portal system for phpbb3, i think you can find one that would make you happy.

If the development team doesn't care about what the users of their software have to say, then I'm sure your suggestion is a good one.

i for one, thinks that Michaelo has done a fabulous job in developing this portal, and i am not so petty as to speak out so loudly about someones portal system.

That's why there is Coke and Pepsi. Not everyone wants one or the other. For those who don't care about the name, it's a good thing for them to use KisMOD. I'm not doubting the software itself is bad. I'm sure it's great, but if this many people have a problem with the name, and the dev team can't find a different name, then see my comment above. <img>

Perhaps someone else will make a suitable replacement for KisMOD with a more marketable name.

some of you guys reactions has reminded me so much of my teenage sons, and like i tell them, if you do not like it, you do not have to use it.

It isn't a matter of if we don't like it, don't use it. You are forgetting how long some of us have been using certain software, and to change something without finding out first how the customers will respond is bad business.

Ask the makers of Coke Classic what kind of response they got after they changed the recipe. They have never been able to get the recipe the same again, which is how Classic came about.

Do a story on the Schwinn Bicycle company. I think someone in China now owns this once family-owned company.

I agree with the other posters. There should have been a poll first before the changes.

First off, if you are using IM 2.0, you are most certainly in the wrong forum.

If I'm in the wrong forum for IntegraMOD 2, then why is this thread named "IntegraMOD 2 now KisMOD?" I would say this entire thread is in the wrong forum then.

Not to mention.... integramod.com domain has a forbidden access to it. integramod2.com domain points to integrmod.com.

That's another problem with changing everything around. Your customers don't know what site is what, or where they should be going for support.

Right now you are on integrmod.com. IM 2.0 is on IntegraMod.com. The software we currently have available here is IntegraMod 1.4.1 .

See comment above.... very confusing as to what site is what and what products are what domain. And now I read there is yet another domain created. (or 2 of them)

I realize I'm on integrmod.com. I'll say it again. INTEGRAMOD2.COM POINTS TO THIS DOMAIN!

There was an altercation between the owner of IntegraMod.com and most of his developers, so his developers created IntegraMod2.com so that they could continue the project on their own. Knowing a name change was needed to avoid confusion (much like your confusion of looking for 2.0 support on this forum) KisMod was one fo the names that was thought up for the software.

Oh dear. Is this like a church split? So, who's the good guys and who broke up the church? Just kidding...don't answer. I don't want to know. I just want to find IntegraMOD 2. Wherever it split off to.

However, as you can see by the domain name "E-Tegra.com" the name of the software doesn't appear to be changing to KisMod. (Though I don't know that for sure)

OI!!! Stop the confusion already! lol. Read the topic of this thread. "IntegraMOD 2 now KisMOD" And it's on this domain.

As for you needing a certain name to tell your customers about before setting them up with a software... well I have my own reservations about that. Personally I'd never hire someone to build a website for me who would ignore the features and abilities of a web .script because he didn't like the name of it.

And I don't watch sitcoms because of the foul language. If I hired an ad agency to do my ad, then I found out they put it on as a sponsor to one of these sitcoms, I would have fired them for not telling me what the name of the show was they were going to advertise me on. So, perhaps you would overlook the name, instead of the features. I consider both. I don't care if 1 billion customers would see my ad. I would rather have 1000 customers see my ad on a family-oriented show than a billion on foul infested shows. I also wouldn't hire a Webmaster that didn't tell me the name of the product they were going to use first.

To each their own preference in marketing, naming products and who they hire as their Webmaster.
