We received an email quite a while back from an ex-trialist who kindly provided feedback on the his Boku site, at one point during the email he compared us to a competitor saying:

“Well, no insult intended, but when I showed my admins the site, they told me "it looks like a piece of paper" Please don't get me wrong, I'm not sure what programs you use but if you check out [insert competitor name here] (I'm sure you did) it's like looking at a TV picture with HD.”

A piece of paper! We thought this was quite funny at first, it is a strange analogy to make, but it stuck with us and we gradually began realised that the guy was right. When we originally developed Boku we threw style and ease of use out of the window in favour of more power captain and a bucket load of features.

Given this as inspiration in November we began work on codename “Boku HD” the latest and I dare say greatest version of our clan management system. Boku 2.0 is not just going to be an arbitrary number change introducing a few new bits and pieces, it is a complete recode, and redesign from the ground up (if you will excuse the cliché!).

So I am pleased to announce officially that at the end of January we will be beginning the private alpha of Boku 2.0! We really want you to get involved, as involvement at this early stage can really help us steer the project and allow us to cater to your needs.

So if you would like to get involved in the Boku 2.0 private alpha please let me know as soon as possible via my Xfire (bokuBlackice or by joining the Boku Xfire group).

Please note that for the time being this alpha will only be available to current customers.
