Yes, well actually I already know that there is no legal problem; I was asking if you didn't mind, personally Wink

Though everyone must rely on licenses, I tend to think that proper (net)etiquette is always A Good Thing. After all, we would be using your own code to get phpBB better, which in some sense is one of your direct competitors.

BTW, I installed fudforum on a personal machine to check it out. I see that code is pretty clean, though _SPARSE_ of comments, to say the least. Some suggestions:

- The CP is better than phpBB's but still a mess Smile

I think this could be fixed by A) Using some little javascript to open/close modules of settings, and B) Split setting pages that are far too long, such as the General settings one.
- Some inline-help on the CP settings would be very nice, for example I didn't quite understand the 'regexp' settings for mails. (I guess it's a perl-compatible s/regexp/settings string?)
- "php.php"... LOL!! I think you should tailor this as a install-specific md5 hash (i.e. ask for a passwd in the install process). Hardcoding is not a good thing for security.

And, some questions:

- Why did you use file-based databases for messages (among other things) ?
- How stable is mailing list / nntp support?

Well, that is for today, too long of a post already Shocked

Cheers,

Thanks for the warm comments, as far as code poking goes the code as under GPL, so any GPL 'rules' apply. But since afaik phpBB is under GPL as well I don't see any possible problems.
