The timeline I gave had bug fixing for several months, so it is not 18 days. If you can see "Evolution" you would know it is quite possible, I've already talked it over with my Executive Developer, and he said it is a bit too soon, but it can be done. As I said its rough not final. Bugs will be fixed during our private beta, and doing the time after it is finished. Security exploits will be managed by a 3rd party company (as I said in my original post).

So you would rather have sloppy code fast rather than neat working code over a longer period of time? IPB and vBulletin have been developed with performance and code structure in mind first. They have been developed over months and years.

$500 is not going to get you a top notch product to overcome vBulletin, IPB and phpBB.

(By the way, I'm going with the minimum, $500, because that is all you have promised to pay)

And a share of profits, please read my post before you reply. And I said to contact me personally, not reply to post. Reading and following directions show professionalism. "Evolution" has been in development for months, its going on its 4th month now. Our current code is always changing to incorporate new features, but as a certain aspect of the forum is completed, the code is optimized to make the forum faster, and the code much easier to read. All code is heavily comment for any non-developer to read. As I said in my post, please contact me personally.

I'll be realistic with you. There is no gaurentee of profits, which is what all professional programmers know. I've had a dozen people wanting to start a company with me, some of which I said yes and it led to absolutely nothing.

Regarding payment, please do not promiss what you don't have.

[Tyler Cole]

I have no idea what you are speaking of Don.

Thank you to our two newest developers! This is all "Evolution" is currently seeking! Thank you everyone who contacted me!

[DonWilson]

You're promissing people thing's you don't know will come true (eg: all the profits).

Just a warning.
