if what i understood is correct it should make things easier for the user and more dificult for the modders.
for server users its handy, only having to instal forge and presto. its done.
seems good for me
I just read that topic. . . In retrospect, updating to 1.2.5 before checking if the mods had updated was a bad idea 
it looks like Minecraft Forge 3.0.0.69 (& 3.0.0.70 in quick succession) was released today for 1.2.5 =)

joy!
Man you itchy pants are annoying, those are not official releases for 1.2.5, more like beta version so stop posting those damn.
Also it should only make things difficult for modders once when they do the conversion from 1.2.3/1.2.4 to 1.2.5, after that it should be like nothing happened.
does anyone know why thay abandon mlmp?
im just wondering.

Takes too long updating, doesnt update properly, doesnt work perfectly well. I think it was something like that.
Ahh, finally no more Bugreports about wrong Modloader, even if the right one is ever linked in the public releases of IC².
If LexManos' post on the Forge forums is anything to go by, the conversion from MLMP to (the aptly named) FML shouldn't be too hard:
"FMl is incompatible with MLMPMLMP actually did NOT update quickely, it never has, and it never has done a proper update.
Hence the need for FML
From the point of view of the modder using FML will actually be EASIER then using MLMP due to the fact that it will acuratly emulate the ML api as MLMP should of always been doing.
You will need to adjust away from any MLMP specific things you are using, but honestly the bulk of that will be to change from BaseModMP to BaseMod, and to strip out any calls to ModLoaderMP.*"

So, for the SMP community, what does this mean? As I don't play online, it wouldn't really have any bearing on myself (as of yet - I do plan on playing SMP at some point), but does this mean waiting until MC 1.3 is up for mods to hit the multiplayer community again?
Extremely one-sided decision to break all MLMP mods. I tried asking them to make a MLMP wrapper but they said no "since it would be used forever and noone would transition to NetworkMod that way".

I agree with him. Besides give it a chance, after a week or four you will barely remember what MLMP was.
Agree with me or cpw's decision to not make a MLMP wrapper?
You mean lex decision? Yeah the one of not making the wrapper. (But then again i have no idea what a wrapper is :P, i support him solely on the choice of moving away from MLMP entirely)
Wrapper being a way to make FML but not break compatibility with ModLoaderMP by merging its baseclass edits with FML's.

In the end, would using the wrapper would be better than the FML directly?

Depends on how heavily based the mod was on the MLMP system. In some cases yes... others, no...
This seems more like an autonomy move on Lex's part to ensure faster response time to port and update mods as versions change... Can't say I blame them, but it's a hell of an aggressive way to go about it...
I'm a very happy person right now to hear this is finally happening. Hopefully it will be done right.

Ditto, beez, ditto.
Even after reviewing all this information, I'm still unsure where my leanings are on this matter. On the one hand, with the built-in mod support, it should get mods up to date faster...but to do so would require some mods to literally start from square one again, it's sounding like, or at the very least, a considerable amount of rewriting.
Or maybe this is just the ramblings of a semi-sleep-deprived computer jockey who's reading into things too much.
