Cool Aza,
I had a good look at their site as well - tis not bad but it could be better - however:
The thing about this one that DJ has found is that its like an open source project. Thus its FREE to use & get.
It also has the functional back ground we are after.
SQL back end = easy back up & change
PhP coded - means we can code the pages the way WE want them ;) sure we can use their plug-in's - but PhP is huge www.phpbb.com/ & we can bling it as much as we can bling a busa - only its free to do
While it says PhP is open sourced - I am sure there are fee's for using it - "phpBB is released free of charge. However, you must read and fully understand the license agreement before you download and use the software." so there might be a catch - also getting php direct is more advanced - with this one it gives us a start to then move it forward to what we want ;) (IE: base coding is done & can be changed to what we want)
While I agree that the flashing words & stuff will wear off quick - they are pretty much standard these days in php forums.
Lets develop it a little & see how it can turn out? After all its only what we make of it.
The list of the "pros" over ezboard are pretty big. Not just the back up - but full control over it, faster, better looking, local hosting??, no limit on personal message's, easy to upload pictures as well ;) no third party picture hosting.
Also just got a reply from my mate in the gaming guild - in short - "It's a script you install in phpBB that goes to your ezboard and records posts, one forum at a time." That is what the converter script does ;) dont even need a dump DJ!! "Busa riders always count in three's.... 100, 200, 300"
