Ray- Sorry, I didn't mean to bash yours. Personally, I think yours is great. The issue that I have is that I have clients who have used PHPBB, YABB, etc. for years and think that's how a forum SHOULD look and act. Anything outside of that, they think it's wrong. Even other PHP boards get scoffed at from the people I deal with. The UI is the biggest piece. I agree with you about not putting all of the frills and the stupid rankings and stuff on the boards, but they seem to find that stuff important, even if it is over complicated.

I have to say I'm really surprised by this. I don't mean to say my product is the best, there are other good forums apps out there. But do folks truly think that the only good CF forum would be a phpBB clone? Maybe it's just personal bias, but I've never liked forums built upon it. I don't think they are bad per se - just a bit over complicated. On 2/22/06, Burns, John D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There's definitely a market.
