Galleon gets my thumbs up as well. I agree with joe, that having a
robust, tested foundation to build upon is very beneficial.

I really like ray's coding as well - very easy to modify if needed.

I think Ray's is spot-on for something that is widely applicable.  It
may not have all of the features someone could want, but it makes up for
that by providing an excellent foundation on which to build those
features.

In a professional environment where I may need to add forum
capabilities, I wouldn't want something with PMs, emoticons, avatars,
etc.  Galleon gives me a product that is guaranteed to not be *more*
than I need (which is often worse than having less than you need!),
tested, and pretty secure (I've tried to break into it using the same
techniques I've used to exploit other message boards to no avail).

It's definitely worth checking out the alternative you've suggested,
especially if its features suit someone's needs - but outright
dismissing Galleon isn't a good idea.
