Well it looks like Matt and all the guys working on IPB 2.1 ...

Actually, Matt's the only one that codes it. And he's doing both IPB 2.1 and IPDynamic 1.0 at the same time :o

Whoa, never knew you posted here. :)

Awesome. :D

[Matt Mecham]

I get around. :)

[Krudomanic]

Yes Timdorr I believe Matt has a lot of work on at the moment and I have seen IP Dyanamic and it looks pretty good... I am not one for shouting my mouth off (well some times) but, I think this could take over some of the products like PHNuke and Virtuanews... Although both of these products are first class IP Dynamic is a sound product and you will be able to produce a front-end site with ease.
