Thirty Bees Future Announcement

[Messenger Bee]

Hi all

We understand that a lot of us have been wondering what has been going on and if Thirty Bees will continue. Everyone being quiet hasn't been helping, we know.

Please see this post as assurance that we're on it 👍

We can't divulge much at the moment but suffice to say there is currently something in the works. We had hoped to say something to you all sooner. Unfortunately the negotiations has been taking a lot longer than initially expected. However, we feel pretty close and hope to have a proper announcement soon.

One of the Core developers is involved so that should be reassuring. Can't say who just yet though. Either way, you'll be happy.

For now, keep your fingers crossed, and please continue your contributions in the forum and keep using Thirty Bees. Also, please show your support by liking this post.

There is a bright future for TB and we'd love to see your continued involvement, support and participation.

More soon. Watch this space!

I just don't understand why new account was needed for making this post?

You could have used your regular account for this message.

There are mainly personal accounts here. So basically this account was created to post "Official" statements. Quite logical I would say (Unless there is other official account)
Still, anyone could've created "Member" account. @Messenger Bee Maybe upgrade this account to Moderator/Admin etc?

As long as it's a "Member" It's safe to assume it may be a troll account!

On the other hand. It's interesting who wants to take this project over 🙂 @datakick already stated that he does not want. @Traumflug hmm... interesting 🙂 Praying for well being of a project 🙂

[toplakd]

Official statements would be posted by official members and not by new single post member account.

I think it's official

Can't quite agree here (maybe a personal matter). I think it's a company that should post such messages. Not its members. Not every member should be allowed to post official statements, so only selected ones should have access to this account.

Still, this account privileges should be elevated to @Messenger Bee a minimum of credibility.

[toplakd]

Yeah, but most likely no one will give the higher privileges to that account as it might be not anyway related with official Thirty Bees.

[wakabayashi]

@toplakd dont worry. If this account get's upgradded it was either by Lesley, Markus or Petr. 😏

Theoretically two more guys are admin, but I highly doubt they do even read this 😆

[toplakd]

Yes, I know.

But most likely none of the officials are behind that account 🙂

@toplakd @Kashir2000 No, it is true. I think everyone here knows about my health issues being the reason I cannot really continue forward with thirty bees. So a couple of months ago I started exploring having someone buy me out and take over the project. I found a group of active users in the community who were up to the challenge. thirty bees will be under new control shortly with renewed vigor led by new owners. 

[toplakd]

Looking forward to that, but as said by Kashir, if that's official account, it should at least have some moderator privileges and not being just blank member with no history.

😊

Hi, 

Yes this is official. And we now have Moderator status, thanks to @lesley. 

We had to post without it as it was becoming apparent that more and more people were getting concerned about TB's current status and future.

So we thought we'd let you all know quickly that something is in the works. Even though nothing is finalised as yet. Apologies for any confusion caused by posting without Moderator status. 

We will let you know once we have some new information to share, which could be within the next few weeks.

Indeed, this is exciting news. Hope it works out well too

[AndyC]

Looking forward to the new owners taking over. There is probably a lot in the works so good luck

[Kashir2000]

If you're at fixing stuff, then one thing. Just one small thing I can't watch at... or 2 rather...

Pretty please... it hurts me 😞

[pauld]

Just letting you know guys I have few own modules.. Some of their functionality can be part of TB core like HTTP2 push, fast XML export with configurable schema.. I will share on github with community when Its ready and find spare time.

[zen]

At least there is some move 🙂

I would like to know more for sure, then wait and see...

[AndyC]

Any update yet 🙂

The person who owns the url starts by asking 

• 5 x gross revenue for 18 months, then adds a lot like
• $70K for "a tax bill"  in bullish style, with no reply to offers.

Revenue is probably stuff like $1000 a month for Paypal and Cloudways Hosting referral, but he wants a non-disclosure agreement before detailing. He put details of virtual office and server costs on a google doc for a while. They just about balance the voluntary subscriptions that some supporters make.

@veganline are you part of the new team or what is your post about?

[lesley]

As far as I know he is not. And the deal being worked out is no where around those numbers.
