Desperately seeking a BB für Joomla 1.6

Hi there!

This is about website number 64 or so that I came across during my desperate search for a Bulletin board integrateable in Joomla 1.6. After a moment of joy I found out that this one here is just like oh so many others just an 1.5 component.

Looking at the latest login date of the Admins and the latest question for the tool being compatible with Joomla 1.6 I have absolutely no hope that someone will come here and say "oh yes, just today we finished our work, download (or BUY!) the board for 1.6 here...

But maybe someone can explain why it is not possible to create a plain BB für J1.6. I just don't understand. As I setup my Joomla 1.6 system, it was said to be state of the art, better than anything else and for sure supported by more and more free developers. Now after 6 months 1.7 is out and 1.6 is like dead. No BB, no bridges, just nothing.
The lack of a good Board makes my website project, on which I have been working for about half a year now, nearly crushed.
The two (T-W-O!!!) working forum components for J1.6 look crappy as hell and integrating an SMF 2.0.1 Board fails due to - you name it - support of J1.6

Why am I writing this? I don't know. Maybe because this site was my last hope. Maybe to say "yes, I'm angry it all failed.". Maybe to encourage developers here to just keep on going.

Oh, and just in case you ask: I always donate for *every* free component I use on my website.

that's it now. Thanks for reading and have a nice weekend!

Greetings,
