Re: Creating a forum

 

Is there another free OSS option out there for a forum? All the others I know of require money for commercial use etc.

And I think that is exactly the things one should bring to the table when
discussing the pros/cons of a piece of software. I don't have a preference
myself.  I don't really know of any webapp beyond security problems.  What
is more important to me is who will maintain it and how quickly that app's
authors respond to exploits.  Do we have a hard list of people committed
to the project?  I have signed up as a moderator.

Work in progress so feel free to join and post up any comments about
the forum etc.

phpBB is a poor choice of forum software, IMO.

Yet, phpBB has a very bad security record, and I had countless issues
with it. Spammers / hackers have the bad habit to google for a specific
version of phpBB and use that as a result for targets.

Also, phpBB isn't threaded. I think threading isn't an option: it's
needed, IMHO.

Just my 2 cents,

Thomas
