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 Theus On Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 5:13 AM, Josiah Mugambi <jmugambi@gmail.com> wrote:

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:

Areba What you tried was poor and pathetic. Exposing people's email addresses to spam bots was pathetic. Do you remember the China electronics company which has been doing rounds? Its started from most of the email addresses exposed like the ones you were exposing in afraha.com I dont think that you really have any idea nor have you done any vbulletin forum or any PHPBB. Vbulletin is more superior to phpbb. PHPbb is like Isuzu Bighorn while Vbulletin is LandCruiser VX LTD Please lets not argue for teh sake of it. What you were doing is simply exposing people to SPAM. The experiment you were carrying out has very little security features and there is no reason for anyone to pursue that. Can we please argue here on the point of information. Not just for the sake.

Areba What you tried was poor and pathetic. Exposing people's email addresses to spam bots was pathetic. Do you remember the China electronics company which has been doing rounds? Its started from most of the email addresses exposed like the ones you were exposing in afraha.com
I dont think that you really have any idea nor have you done any vbulletin forum or any PHPBB. Vbulletin is more superior to phpbb. PHPbb is like Isuzu Bighorn while Vbulletin is LandCruiser VX LTD
Please lets not argue for teh sake of it. What you were doing is simply exposing people to SPAM. The experiment you were carrying out has very little security features and there is no reason for anyone to pursue that.
Can we please argue here on the point of information. Not just for the sake. Search for PHPBB reviews and Vb reviews. You will know what I mean.

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.

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

It would be better if you explained why you opt for vbulletin. A point by point argument would win the day. Please support your hypothesis with facts. That's the best way to get your idea across. My two cents.

Incidentally there's always been the skunkworks blog : blog.my.co.ke -- Josiah Mugambi Charles de Gaulle<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/c/charles_de_gaulle.html> - "The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs."

Theus u sound like a VB salesman desperate to hit its targets. IMHO, what VB can do SMF can do better.... and it is open source, nuff said. On 8/30/09, Josiah Mugambi <jmugambi@gmail.com> wrote:

@Thues... clearly you have no idea about the full feature set oh PHPBB especially PHPBB3 its all that and a bag of chips so to speak. Another thing about Forums its not about the application really its about the content thats on it and the mods that run it. I see Skunkworks already has a forum and all it needs is a push to get people to start using it more. Maybe add more moderators and admins and probably upgrade it to PHPBB3. But i think the forum is the way to go and it can also generate revenue to support a lot of the Skunks ideas discussed in the list. Theus Owicho wrote:
