Do you think something close to zetaboards will ever come about again?
Well yea, with most everyone but a few hopping on board the jcink train & helping to code it I think that the 'spirit' of zetaboards will 'live on' in that fashion. But as for zetaboards software? Well...unless Brandon releases the script for it, it'll never hapoen. Though um someone could reverse engineer it if they used that tool in order to save their forum..which I did. So yea.. I could try reverse engineering it but, in the end I don't see a point when it's already owned by someone else who tossed it right out the window & embraced the garbage that is tapatalk.

Besides, it it was so great, why did it never get an update? What was wrong with it? Is something to answer as well.

Oh Look something I can in some ways answers!
I can say that as a staffer since 2005 on the support board, what was "wrong" with ZB (and InvisionFree) was Brandon and no one that could actually hold him accountable, sure you had Seth, Stephen, Nicolas, maybe Brian when he was active. But none of them really could but his feet to the fire. I don't know if Brandon is/was lazy, lacked motivation, didn't care, or over promised and got in to a mental state of feeling overwhelmed/screwed, or if it was just a "its good enough" attitude.

Zetaboards (then called IF2) was being talked about by Brandon since before I joined the board in late 2004 (with IF starting sometime in 2002). Sure at first IF2 was assumed to be going to be based on IPB2.0 when it was released, but I vaugly recall even Brandon talking then about maybe doing it from scratch (in C++ of all things).

Zetaboards in some ways was doomed from the start in and its birth was in some ways prophetic, as Brandon just released it (I think it was the public beta site...or it was the first "finished" release and which also caused the split of ZB and IF support on differnt forums, but same staff...) He didn't tell the staff ahead of time, instead it was released to the public with the staff not knowing until after the fact. Kind of how TapATalk is treating their users.

Yeah sorry about the rant but this subject just makes me depressed.
