Discuz official forum closes the right to speak What should the Discuz application developer do

A few days ago, many of our netizens should have seen the official announcement of Discuz. The official forum of Discuz was closed and the application center could not be opened. Indeed, it has a great influence in the circle. After all, as a well-known community source code in China, many platforms are in use. In addition, there are also third-party technical support for theme and application developers. Some developers rely on the provision of Discuz secondary development and application plug-in services.

Once Discuz is closed, it will indeed have a greater impact on the security of the website that is using Discuz and subsequent upgrades, as well as on developers who rely on Discuz. Although we can see that the official notice mentioned that there was still support provided in the future, it is not clear whether the quality and quantity can be guaranteed.

First, for version upgrade and security update

Although we can see the official mention that it is maintained by the original Kangshengda customer team, after all, there are indeed commercial users in recent years, and the interests of these users need to be ensured. It is unclear whether the version will continue to be developed and updated, but the security should be guaranteed. If we are using Discuz, we need to pay attention to whether there are security patches at any time.

Second, for application developers

With the official stop of updating, and now it can be seen that the original developer application platform cannot be opened, it is unclear whether to transfer to other platforms. It really has a great impact on netizens who focus on the secondary development of Discuz. If necessary, you can choose to transform other applications or wait and see. After all, the current community programs in China are DZ and PHPWIND, the latter of which I just went to have a look and also prompted maintenance. I'm not sure whether it is the same.

To sum up, recently we can see that many communities are undergoing transformation or closure. For our webmaster, we may not be able to choose this kind of direction. For developers, we can choose transformation.
