My project is reaching the point where my user community may grow, and I am contemplating adding a user forum to my website. This forum always struck me as one of the most elegant for technical interaction. Is this forum engine something that is (a) available to the general public and (b) easy to implement for someone who must spend most of his time doing embedded development rather than web engine maintenance? Even if the answers are "no" and "no" that doesn't take away from what a great piece of work this is. Thanks, --Bill p.s. For the insanely curious my project is an underwater acoustic recorder, see http://www.acousonde.com

hi bill, there has been a quite similar topic at the german version of this forum. here comes the translation of the admin's answer: --- there has been an open source version of this forum engine once - called RForum - but the effort of maintaining both the internal and the open version grew too much. Maybe there will be another attempt on publishing this engine, but before that there needs to be an solution made up on how to seperate site-specific features from the core. Wouldn't make much sense otherwise. --- best regards, michael
Thanks Michael! For anyone else who is curious and can at least read some German, the thread in question is here: Beitrag "Quellcode Forum" Ich lese Deutsch ganz besser als ich es schreiben kann, trotzdem hat es mir sehr erfreut, ihr Hinweis zu sehen. I kenne die Wörter nicht, damit ich suchen kann! Vielen Dank nochmals, --Bill
