Recently some of my websites have been growing pretty fast. Especially a blog/community site which i ran on wordpress. It was fine for 1 blog, however multiple bloggers and forum requests, and this and that has been to much. I was pretty much going to say screw drupal as it seemed many of the devolpers wouldn't admit that the drupal forums suck, and there needs to be a temporary solution till they can get them up to code. I noticed there was a nice addon for phpbb. While the coding rather blows, it already has all the mods made for community forums, such as point systems and all that jazz. I plan to overhaul my website tomorow to incorperate the powerfull drupal system, with popular user favoret phpbb forums. Man, whoever did that mod is converting more people then katie homes at a gay rights parade. Kudo's to you.
I must say that i love the blog features and content management features, as they seem to be very flexable. The code is also very sleek. You can feel it in the end unit, though it would be nicer to have a bit more of a GUI, hence the control panel mod.
To the guys who want to make Drupal's forum and only drupals forum nice and good before finding any alternatives. You won't be able to have nearly the amount of mods as a preexisting forum. As a programer's perspective i completely understand. As a webmaster and buisnessman who's job is to give my viewers what they want, it's suicidial.
