This is pretty cool forum, and I see you guys integrate it with your blog, what forum script is it? To be honest I'm sick and tired of seeing everysite powered by vbulletin, phpbb, or ipb.

It's miniBB, very light and secure wordpress.

You can get the integration plugins here

wow, thanks! it is so generous of you to share

It's the way open source works, share, share and share

Looks like its pretty straight forward on installation and integration. I'll give it a run tonight

the vanilla installation is pretty bare, but all features on major forum apps can be added using the plugins on minibb.com

some plugins are commercial?

Yeah, think about it as donation They are bunch of great lads that spend a lot of time developing the main application for free

Fair enough, sorry gone off topic on the post.
