RE: Looking for Cold Fusion Forum similar to FuseTalk
I'm not sure if it's only that. this may sound odd, but here's one idea: Everybody I know that works with CF is actually working - we are doing CF as a career, as a job. So a LOT of these kind of applications are written (many with the intent of going open-source actually) for either clients or companies. However VERY often life gets in the way and things languish and never get released. On the other hand a huge number of the popular open-source stuff for PHP (for example) seems to be coming from college students and hobbyists. In other words they are doing this just to do it while many CFers are doing it for a paycheck. Of course the fact remains that there are fewer CFers than PHPers, but it still seems like the CF community, in general, just doesn't open-source projects as often. Ask "anybody have a CMS" and 20 people will pop up saying "I wrote my own, let me know if you want it" - but there's no "official" open-source of the product. For my part this is almost all about the packaging: I do a nice little thing then spend months unable to find the time to write any documentation or "clean it up" for general use (replacing branded graphics/content with generic for example). I've often considered just setting up a "use at your own risk" area of my site where I place zip file of (what I think are) interesting code with two-line descriptions and no docs. People want to decipher them, then go at it. ;^) But, in general I would like to see more organized open-source projects with CF.

RE: Looking for Cold Fusion Forum similar to FuseTalk
Well - I was trying to be nicer about it. ;^) But you're absolutely right - the main problem is that CFForums was originally written for CF 2.0 - and then badly/quickly patched for years afterward. It did the job for a long time, but definitely deserves to be retired. ;^) Jim Davis -Original Message- From: Adam Wayne Lehman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 5:46 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Looking for Cold Fusion Forum similar to FuseTalk Jim, I couldn't agree more.

RE: Looking for Cold Fusion Forum similar to FuseTalk
My friend developed a forum app called CFBoards that's been around for a long time and is in pretty wide usage. You didn't mention what version of CF you're running, but his works really well on CF5 and below. http://www.eruditionzone.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=cfboards Bill Brown http://www.bbrown.info/ -Original Message- From: Justin Jefferson Sent: 10/10/03 9:32 AM Subject: Looking for Cold Fusion Forum similar to FuseTalk I'm looking for alternative Forums that are coded in Cold Fusion like FuseTalk but not as expensive.
