>From a business perspective, I would have to disagree. I count on my forum members to help generate additional advertising revenue on several of the sites I have built through the years. And my forum members are clear when they say that they *love* the 'bells and whistles' on my forums that have 'bells and whistles' and demand them on forums that don not have them.

I have to say I'm really surprised by this. I don't mean to say my product is the best, there are other good forums apps out there. But do folks truly think that the only good CF forum would be a phpBB clone? Maybe it's just personal bias, but I've never liked forums built upon it. I don't think they are bad per se - just a bit over complicated. On 2/22/06, Burns, John D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There's definitely a market.
