Just a Big Thanks

You know, I've been online for years now and in my humble beginnings of searching for a good CMS or Website System, I was fortunate enough to find PHPNuke.

Back in the beginning, it truly was revolutionary and powerful, as the years went by this changed (or didn't change as the case may be) and PHPNuke stopped getting the kind of attention that it deserved from it's creator and it showed with all the security risks and exploits which became more and more apparent.

Ultimately I ended up dropping PHPNuke as my CMS of choice and went on to use other CMS's such Joomla and Drupal and of course Wordpress when blogging became the rage. Through that time I periodically would check on PHPNuke's development to see if it had improved and sadly it hadn't.

Then, just by chance, I found Raven Scripts and saw the beginnings of those first versions being developed to make PHPNuke something that everyone wanted, and even though Raven Nuke seemed to be stuck on PHPNuke 6.9 we at least had something with a good security management and blocked most if not all the exploits that PHPNuke was famous for having.

Now, here we are on version 2.20 of Raven Nuke and is now using 7.6 of Nuke and I just wanted to say a HUGE Thank You To the Entire Raven Staff who have dedicated themselves to continuing to improve this platform.

The enormous task you guys have taken on in doing this work is nothing short of phenomenal and you truly deserve so much more than what most people give you guys credit for, and if that wasn't enough, you still offer up this Unique and Secure version Free of charge to all who want it.

I can't thank you guys enough and I for one really appreciate your hard work and dedication!

Thank you so much for all that you guys have done and are doing to keep this CMS alive and well.

Thanks stresstest. Always good to hear positive comments like this. As developers, we rarely get such things. Helps with the motivation when donations are skimpy...

The most people can´t imagine how much work and working hours are behind such a project therefore such feedbacks are always nice. Smile
