Over the last 4 years, I’ve utilized bbPress as my primary support system, and it is worked wonderfully for me. As my plugins have expanded and the user base of my plugins has grown significantly over the last 4 years, it has become increasingly more difficult to properly manage all of the support requests. For…
There are a lot of ways that you can look at people and a lot of characteristics that you can choose to expect people to have. One of those characteristics that I choose to believe in is the inherent good of people. Obviously there are evil people in this world and people that are conniving…
