Hello Jared,

Would that be the same server that the wiki is on now by any chance?

Couple of reasons for the question - one of which could be; any use for 
some wiki integration? see:
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/PhpBb3LinkPlugin
another would be a question about a domain name for the forum host?

Would you like some help supporting the front end? Which is a way of 
saying I can volunteer to help on this, it always comes down to time 
however.

OK - took a quick look at storagereview, it doesn't appear they are 
using phpBB but rather ip.board. Not sure about a mail gateway for that 
package.

Checked on  vBulletin and there is a community package that offers it.

Checked on the status of m2f mod for phpBB3 - hmmm, project seems to 
have stalled and they are looking for developers to help. They haven't 
made an official release, there is supposedly a basic functionality 
currently available now. I pulled their current code base down form 
sf.net  but haven't had any time to look it over. ( Will try to get into 
more depth over the weekend )
You can find information at their blog -

Looked at Fudforum (http://fudforum.org) they seem to have the functions 
right out of the box - never worked with this package however.

I guess the bottom line is this - I am willing to help out on this - not 
willing to take it on alone for sure because of other commitments, but 
as long as there are a 2 or 3 active folks to spread the load then 
absolutely.

Till later then,

Drew
