Message Boards quest part 2

Interesting coments on my quest for a good Message Board.

Scott, regarding Pop Forum, yes it's a great one, I use the version 7.51, but when I said that the developer has lost interest, it was not meant to be rude, it's just facts, the developmenet of the version has not moved since almost a year (at least publicly). I know developing open source products is not easy, I contribute myself (modestly) to some projects.

I see that people recommend Community Server. Well I have quite some strong opinions against CS, maybe the biggest issue is that CS should be released as individual bricks (Forums, Blogs, etc...) because if you need only the Forums part, why I should have the Blogs code?

CS is a great tool however, but I am looking for a much simpler solution.

  • Definitely, let me know what you decide. I would like something simplier than CS but well supported. I don't know if it exisists. I am thinking about going with CS right now. Can you tell me what your strong opinions against it are? If you don't want to do it publicly let me know and I'll shoot you my email... Thanks for the help.

  • Through CS's control panel, you can easily turn off the core features of Community Server (if you don't need them). The good news is that if you ever find the need for an image gallery, blog, etc.. - they are already there. :)
