Theus! You are very wrong on phpbb, while comparing it to vbulletin is like comparing apples to mangoes, it is not a fact that vb is that much superior. While you can get huge forums on vb, there are also similarly huge phpbb forums, like joomla and ubuntu forums. Onto the topic today, forums and lists are very much different. In forums, you need people to get there, log in and contribute. In lists, they already are cause the stuff gets to their inbox. My suggestion would remain a hybrid solution similar to what i tried here. Archive posts from the list in a forum, and have replies in the forum sent to the lists. That way, nothing changes and people can choose whether to log in and contribute in the forum, or use the reply function. Phpbb has a component called mail2forum to handle this, and wp has postie. Joomla also has something and im sure with such a talented pool of developers, you can develop this functionality on anything. On 8/22/09, Theus Owicho <owichot@gmail.com> wrote:
Josiah There are very limited features you can employ in PHPBB. Tell me which PHPBB system handles so much feature and with something liek Vbulletin you have vbadvanced.com and vbulletin.org to handle your CMS and support needs respectively
