Reputation is entirely relative and will grow or recede in time!
People I have conversed with about FUDforum generally address 5 things:
1. Its virtually unknown by most forum users! (and Admins alike)
2. The support is too technical (not user friendly enough for non-coders or non-power users).
3. It is hard for an amateur to modify and understand (has a drab simple appearance and no easily available themes/modifications)
4. The user base is too small to support a viable community!
5. Spam Link, Link
All of these are already being addressed some how by some one, and all I am saying is that I believe we need to take a more proactive stance against forum spam now rather than a reactive approach later or after the fact!
By "we" I mean those of us who staff or administer forums as well as the users; and it does not matter what software they use!

That's one way, but it is dependent on having enough interested and qualified and responsible users and we all know the vast majority of users don't actively participate let alone learn enough to deal with the more complex side of things.

That's one way of looking at it, unfortunately I am much more cynical about the issue for a number of reasons I will try and lay some of them out over at the Guild and see what you think.
