As I just posted on tsmf.net:

As many of you know, after almost 5 years of existence joomlaboard development has slowed down recently due to various business and personal issues of the people involved. In spite of that we have done our best to keep the project running. At times it was very difficult; making it less fun that it was supposed to be. One of the attempts to improve it for everyone was a recent invitation for more developers to join in, as we desperately needed them.

The response was not exactly overwhelming, but yesterday we were pleasantly surprised that a group of people has been improving JoomlaBoard in the background, releasing the result of their work as Fireboard. The improvements are everything we wished for and more, the community response is great, and the whole project is very well organized.

As we don't believe it makes sense to duplicate efforts, together we decided to merge the JoomlaBoard project with what will become its successor - Fireboard, and create the best integrated forum solution for Joomla.
Users should have no fears as all the JoomlaBoard options and features you are familiar with are there, plus much more. Migration from JoomlaBoard to FireBoard is quick and easy. So without further ado, we invite you all to join us in the FireBoard community - we will be waiting you there to help you out as we did in the past!

Your JoomlaBoard team
