Here's a big summary thread for you guys, ill try keep it up-to-date.



What is it?
I don't need a huge description here. If you're reading this thread you likely already know what WCDDL is.

WCDDL is a DDL script, created to act as a base to DDL sites which can easily be modified to your needs and runs efficiently with minimal 'bloat'. It is very secure and handles high traffic well, while keeping the database size reasonable.

Who made it?
WarezCoders.com made WCDDL. I coded it myself, the team created (and still do create) modules for it, also some seem to continue releasing themes for it.

System Requirements

All Versions: MySQL, PHP.
WCDDL 2 or later: PHP5
WCDDL 3: PHP5 with PDO (built in by default)

Blacklist & Whitelist Support
SQL-based blacklist/whitelist

No pointless bloat or frameworks, pure, efficient code


Versions
WCDDL1 - Module support, procedural
WCDDL2 - Object-oriented, module support, database restructure
WCDDL3 - Completely object-oriented, module support, PHP5

WCDDL3 Changes

PHP5 only
PDO instead of old mysql_ library for portability
Full object-orientation
Optimised database

Better module system
COMPLETE RECODE FROM SCRATCH

As always, don't expect huge new features and such, that is what modules are for. Instead, expect better code, higher efficiency and faster page execution. Also the database will be slightly restructured for efficiency. Security changes may also be made.

Support
This script is specifically directed at webmasters with prior experience with running DDL websites and/or PHP.
I do not provide support unless im bored. If you do need help, ask on these forums or the warezcoders forums, you'll most likely get a faster response here.
All those people who claim this script allows kids to throw up 5 minute DDL sites are mentally ill. You can see from v2 to v3 that I don't care about changing how it looks or frontend functionality, just the backend code. This DDL script is not for newbies, kids, etc, it is for real webmasters with a future.
