Goyney, and everyone else talking smack on phpBB -- why do you hate this so much? Is it because we haven't skinned it yet?

Actually now, these forums are quite active. Good to see familiar faces...or usernames around. :P

No, I don't hate phpBB. In fact, I've used it in 5 or 6 different projects because it's easily skinnable and customizeable. I was just curious why you switched to it so prematurely, IPB was working fine for you to post-pone this a few more weeks to get the boards looking and working better.

@Phase - while it may be easy to customize the crap out of phpBB, you obviously have no clue how much work it takes to template something perfectly, especially with dynamic content. It would be a good 2 week project to redo this template completely, and I'm someone who believes it needs to be done. This day in age, any peice of software, company, or service online needs to keep their web presence. Since this is the area of the site people will spend 90%+ of their time, this is something that needs to be fixed.

I'm sorry. I sure wasn't talking about the skinning of this forum. I was talking about the 30 minute max conversion time.
