It's not a bad thing. He went MIA, which was not good. PhpBB is not decentralized which is what it is.

Dated by comparison to what? I looked at phpBB and MyBB and others. Sadly there aren't any strong decentralized BB or forums. The best seem big and corporate (and likely compromised).

Nobody said that was the final step, let's face it, this whole thing is not going to pop out of our asses like a beautiful golden egg, fully formed and valuable. We're going to have to divide and conquer, break it down into steps and stages.

Also decentralized can be achieved in other ways, like simply by letting users download the message base. That has a number of advantages to it too, like it's simple. Keep it Simple Stupid is a fantastic principle.

You are correct. I have yet to discover all that's shitty about Lenny. Decentralization is the giant leap forward, along with fair open management - both huge improvements, despite whatever setbacks and hurdles.

Yes, backing up the system and providing it to download is a critical top priority.

For a mascot, what do you think of Simple Jack from Tropic Thunder but make it a chick and call her Simple Cassy. And yes, we should have it printed on t shirts and hats to generate some cash flow. There are sites that do that for you, if you were to say draw a simple image of simple cassy, not sure how horrendous their cuts are tho.
