The first of many victories!

Congratulations to the xenForo team!

Indeed some great news! You guys keep your heads up, you didn't deserve this lawsuit. At all.

Claim 6) Breach of Duty of Loyalty - That by creating XF he has gone against the best interests of VB. That he was creating XF while working for VB - Kier is the only one that knows if this is true or not... but he has already shown how quickly and easily it is to push high quality products out using the framework and will most likely be able to show how he did it in such a short time

I'm very interested to actually hear how XenForo got developed between Kier and Mike when this is all over. Maybe he'll post it somewhere?

Might prove very useful to anyone who wants to develop software and thing the imposible is impossible.

The idea, or the development strategy?

I think both the approach with how the idea of XenForo was born through how you guys went through development, approaches you took, and how you managed to do things quickly but still maintain quality/consistency.

I guess a "Creating XenForo" documentary of sorts? Might be a bit much though.

Off topic for the thread but I've always wondered what the first file/line of code/character was

Difficult to say exactly what the first line of code was, but the first commit to the code repository was a pair of directories...

 

[Kier]

For my part, the first code I committed was a little test while I was figuring out jQuery.

 

[lazer]

HEY!! That looks like vBulletin code!

Only joking....

 

[Kier]

It was around the same time that I found that jQuery didn't fully support the OOP principles I wanted to use, and came up with this:

Guys - I understand where you're coming from and I'd be curious too. For prudence, I am not sure that it is fair to ask questions of Kier that might pertain to the lawsuit, no matter how innocuous they sound. It places him in a difficult position. While much of this seems harmless, one never knows the tangled web that can be woven with information. After all, until late last year I had no idea that permalinks and other rather standard SEO strategies would be claimed as the proprietary property of someone else.

Anyways, if you're keeping score at home, 25% of the complaint was dismissed yesterday. I like round numbers and quantities.

not sure it´s wise to post all that info... Kier ?

 

[jmurrayhead]

was kind of thinking the same thing...

 

[Kier]

Either it was the first code I committed, or it wasn't. In this case, it was. I'm certain all this information will be splurged across the Internet for all to see before too long anyway.

Ignore the time - it's using the server's timezone rather than mine

As long as that wasn't California's, that's OK then lol

So you started work on xenforo just 11 days after leaving vb. Well that kills off Claim 6

Why does it say 2 years ago? Does that mean those directories still exist alone on a server and hasn't been touched since then? If so, that really doesn't prove a thing (as one member thought it did).
