Labyrinth isn't the only thing I've been working on since I got back. I have more time so I've done a ton of NDim 2.0 development as well. It's reached a point now where so much is done that this project is no longer a possible thing that'll happen and is now a certainty.

I still have some pages to port over to the new software, but not many. Around 60% of the pages and initial setup are done on the actual forum side. The admin part and the actual site homepages themselves still need doing, but that's for a later release.

We have a schedule planned out that we're currently working to. No dates because with working and everything it's getting hard to commit to those, but NDim 2.0 will have a functional beta release very soon!

At the moment I'm finishing up the board pages and following that, we have to do some testing before it goes beta. Once it does, the software will go out for Beta release. At this point, forum admins will be given a setting which will allow their forum to work in beta 2.0 mode. If they enable this, users on that forum will be able to use the NDim 2.0 version of the software so that they can test it and log any bugs they find.

It's worth noting that on first beta release, NDim 2 is gonna be very similar to NDim Classic. The idea was to port it across to the new project which allows for much better complexity in the future. There will be some minor examples of this in the first beta release, most notably the "show all post by members" feature which will now only show dates with valid posts and provides a post count for each month before you select them too. In all other areas, it'll seem the same, but this is what we're striving for before developing new and interesting features exclusively on the NDim 2 software.

It's been a long road due to time constraints but we're getting there. Hopefully by this time next year there will be a ton of new and exciting features on NDim, not to mention the important stuff (re-opening board registration, board directory and so forth). Thanks for everybody's patience!

So, does this mean there will be a new forum? Or is it just updates to make the site a little better?

it's just updates to make the site a little better

This is it. They ran out of acronyms to use whenever they got bored.

That or it's an entirely different programming language and it's better to differentiate the two since the old version will become entirely incompatible over time.

One of the two.

Does this mean I have to recode my skins again? :/

No. I'm building it to be completely compatible.

There are great changes coming down the line my friends

What does this mean?

I'm finally gonna become mod one day before Ndim 2.0 launches aren't I?

You can be King of Ndim once we've all moved over to 2.0

I'll take it.

I've changed the poster ranks and they don't show, will this be fixed in 2.0?

No. I like to keep things broken.
