Re: There's an echo in here...
Opinions duely noted.
- I appreciate the fact there are big fans of PunBB here. That doesn’t automatically make it the right solution for us.
- What TextDrive does or does not use, is their business and has nothing to do with this community and it’s needs.
- “bloated” is a rather relative, meaningless term
- I have had to make quite a few hacks and modifications to get PunBB to handle things our forum software should already do out-of-the-box. I greatly dread the next major update.
- Bugs of several kinds that refuse to go away, including the search, which is now even more broken. Since when should you have to use Google to search a forum?!
- Minimal moderation abilities. Enough for some, not enough for us.
What we need is something that does more of exactly that: what we need. Let’s not become so dramatic over something so trivial.
EddieG5: I have looked at Vanilla, though thanks for the suggestion. You can’t delete posts or users without an extension for goodness sake, which will make handling the spammers, and all the users that never complete registration, hell. While I very much like several things Vanilla has to offer, I don’t think it’s a good match for our uses.
