Technical remarks about YaBB Community

The Yabb Open System software for Forums is something absolutely great.
BUT, yes there is a BUT and a big one...
All YaBB staffs are focussed on developping, coding for Unix/Apache only, ignoring what exists outside their tiny worls.

Yes I know, Apache represents 50% of the market and Unix is the paradise for those who loves the command lines...

I do not want to promote the Redmond company (being myself a Mac Maniac) but I have to say that there are also a lot of Windows servers around the world. YaBB peoples are not competent on that field and they should welcome some Windows servers specialists AND Unix/Windows cross Networks engineers.
Let say to get out of a small hole to enlarge to the whole world.

The command line is no more sufficient for such a good forum soft.

Any comment is welcome here.

There are more crossplatform programs developed by Unix/Linux people than by Windows people.

Let say that
1/ we have YaBB working on a Windows Server. This is OK.
2/ For each new version, the problem is not the cross platform, but the view of physical network with machines using different hardwares under different platforms.
3/ No offense taken for the above comment, but all tend to say the best of our own, rejecting any remarks from outside.
4/ I'm neither Windows nor Unix/Linux (even if MacOSX is also Unix now)
