well thats the only suggestion i have @ the mo

What exactly sucks about this software? You can post and read messages, what else do you really need a forum software to do? I really don't want a bloated piece of forum software that makes coffee for me in the morning. There really is no need to most of the features that are in a lot of these forum scripts...

"...I really don't want a bloated piece of forum software that makes coffee for me in the morning..."

Cheers to that; long live KISS!

Personally, I was impressed by the site's mechanics within a minute of stumbling across the site.
(in fact, I hadn't seen php before this site. Going to have to look into it, next time I have a free second.)

as a owner of bloated forums software, its a nice refreshing pace to visit others work and their interpretations of forums software, and i for one am impressed with the overall speed, and the fact the content is of "content" and not spamming, smilieys, or the dreaded 600 x 600 image of some picture that fit in seemingly easy enough between a couple of image tags.

After all, reading and general member interaction is the purpose of forums.
It wasnt until those who were bored with reading, or low on ambition possibly posting something of a discussionary topic, that it was decided in popularity that more bells and whistles had to be attached in order to sustain their attention spans.

Again, as mentioned earlier by myself, great work Matt.

Hehe, I like your take on the evolution of forum software....

Do remember though, this forum wasn't created by me...it is courtesy of http://www.electrifiedpenguin.com....

lol..thanks for the compliment..at any rate matt..this is a nice setup, and just because a company makes the forums, doesnt mean that what is added to them later by yourself is their's to lol. ;)
