Well, you''d have the source so you could do it yourself if you wanted
to... Our company uses phpBB, but only cause it was setup years ago. As
far as updates go, watch out if you should you apply any other
customizations and then try and do a simple upgrade... it turns into a "go
through each file line by line" excersize (not quite that bad, but close).
