Which forum software would you fork?

[Shawn G]

I threatened to make a new admin forum so I made myself the forum owner at AAF beat that one lol

 

[yourbezzie]

Probably IPB, as I love the design so much!

What do you love about it?

I would love to see a fork of phpbb3 that is upgraded in the mod install and adding move features, then I don't think it would be so bad.

Move features?

 

[Pete]

I thought it meant to be more features. So easy to go down to 'v' instead of up to 'r' if you're not 100% concentrating on what you're doing. You'd be surprised how often I type completely the wrong word; earlier I wrote 'deserve' instead of 'desire' and it could have completely changed the tone of my message had I not noticed...

 

[AllanD]

Yeah I am great for typos, I do it all the time. Even after I proof read them. It was meant to be more

I love the smooth bit when you post, and the speed!

I have noticed its pretty fast

For me it'd have to be either IPB or Xenforo. Probably Xenforo since it's more light-weight and still in it's infancy, so I can put in just the features I'd want in it still, etc.

Of course, the more feats you add, the slower software tends to get. So you gotta find a way to be able to add more without slowing things down.

Exactly. I'm looking forward to seeing this place on IPB 4.0 in the future, but I don't know if i'd use IPB as a fork at this stage of it's life....maybe back when it was 1.x or 2.x, but now? I'm not so sure if that'd be a good idea.

 

[RiverM]

XenForo and IPB - I'd take the awesome stuff from both of them and make one software from it.

 

[alakazam]

To fork ? :huh:

 

[Pete]

To fork means to take the current state of development, branch off and continue in your own development path. From your posts I'd say your answer would be IPB.

Whoa now... I always thought forking was making a forum software act as an eating utensil !!!
