NYCPHP Meetup

[Ted Shieh]

I concur with Jay - phpBB is good.  Which is probably why it is the #5 top 
download at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/

But I need to use something that integrates with PostNuke, so I use XForum, 
which you can see in action at http://www.liquidmarkets.com/?name=XForum

Someone succeeded in integrating phpBB 2 with PHP-Nuke, but so far I think 
the highest version of phpBB that has been integrated with PostNuke is 1.4.

If you'd like to try out XForum, and have read any of William Gibson's 
works, feel free to join the William Gibson discussion:
