Marcan from the SmartFactory would reply and offer support himself here, however he was banned because he works with another CMS also.

I will say this it's unfair targeting someone who cannot reply because you banned them for supporting another system as well as XOOPS
Tom, I would appreciate if you wouldn't twist the truth. If we would ban people for supporting another system, you would be banned as well, but you're not, right? And there are several people like you here. We ban people if they exhibit a malicious intent to damage XOOPS, and/or repeatedly violate our "Terms of Use".
Marcan was banned not because he supports another system, but because he violated his duties as a Director of XOOPS Foundation.
Thanks to Google, we find sometimes some very interesting things in the searches! Just
check out this link to learn about beginning of ICMS.
The problem that we have with it is that this conversation took place on Dec. 7th and 8th, 2007. At that time, Herko Coomans (aka Herko), David Ledbury (aka davidl2), and Marc-André Lanciault (aka Marcan) are all Directors of the XOOPS Foundation Board. As such, they are legally, ethically and morally obligated to represent and protect the interests of the XOOPS! But instead, they are conspiring to damage XOOPS by starting a new fork. As stated by Herko: "Marcan gave me the mandate to start the process of creating the vision, mission and identity of the new project." So instead of protecting XOOPS' interests, he violated his fiduciary duties by pushing a fork of XOOPS.
Creating a fork is not a problem, after all XOOPS is an Open Source project. But if you do it while serving as Director of the XOOPS Foundation, then it's a clear breach of his fiduciary duties, and a reason to ban him from here.
So please don't come here and spin the truth trying to make Marcan look like a poor, innocent victim. It's just not fair to all of us!
