Currently, the existing server runs on php-based phpbb, while olpchacks.org's forum runs on vbulletin, which is not FLOSS. I bristled initially, but Peter brings up some good points, which I will let him copy and paste.

Ad-hoc doesn't work so well when fora get heated, feelings tend to get hurt. Where were we exactly?
