I can't wait for a stable 1.0 beta release! Thanks to everybody who helped get bbPress this far, and will take it farther in years to come. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-turns-2-today-happy-birthday-bbpress#post-19919 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 09:27:37 +0000 _ck_ 19919@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p><a href="http://bbpress.org">bbPress</a> turns 2 years old today!!!</p> <p>It's been a big year with new features being added at a rapid pace thanks to hard work by Sam and Mike. It's an easy guess that we should see a stable 1.0 beta by the end of 2008.</p> <p>But don't let the modest sounding "1.0" fool you, it's practically a "2.0" inside with all the changes since 0.9 including BackPress integration (merges core functions from WordPress) and an XML-RPC api like WordPress as well. </p> <p>While Matt Mullenweg (Automattic/WordPress founder) <a href="http://photomatt.net/2004/12/29/bbpress/">created bbPress during Christmas 2004</a> to power <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress.org</a>, version 0.7.2 (nicknamed “bix”) was only <a href="http://bbpress.org/blog/2006/10/bbpress-072/">officially released for public consumption</a> on Saturday October 14th 2006 making it two years old today.</p> <p>Regardless of being <a href="http://ckon.wordpress.com/2008/08/08/wikipedia-overlords-delete-bbpress-page/">summarily deleted from Wikipedia this year</a>, bbPress has never been more popular. I've been tracking bbPress growth via the <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top100">Top 100</a> and <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/top1000">Top 1000</a> lists for over a year now and this month shows the list surging to nearly 5000 forums, with bbPress being used in over 80 countries and in dozens of languages.</p> <p>Roughly 10 sites a day have installed bbPress over the past two years and over 70% them continue to use it. The largest bbPress forum is about to break a million posts by the end of the year and just to be on the Top 100, a forum now needs at least 7000 posts.</p> <p>bbPress hosted forums via TalkPress (ala WordPress.com) are on the horizon, and with new <a href="http://bbxf.org/">forum conversion software</a> being developed and more <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-plugins">plugins</a> and <a href="http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes">themes</a> available than ever before, bbPress will definitely make it's mark in 2009 and should have a very exciting third year! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/happy-birthday-bbpress#post-11428 Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:45:33 +0000 Trent 11428@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>That is so true! Thanks for pointing that out! I even wrote a <a href="http://trentadams.com/2007/10/15/bbpress-is-officially-1-year-old-today/">blog post</a> to remind others!
