Forum?

Is this a homebrew forum or is it a modified version of an existing product?

I think this is a modified version of punBB

he said bye bye to PunBB…im sure its a home grown…

Shaun — would love to know what you’re using here. Looks amazing!

I wouldn’t say it looks amazing, but I like the idea of easily integrateable forums :D

I’m fairly positive it’s a homegrown rails based forum.

Nope, homegrown PHP.

from scratch?

I notice a lot of punbbness the more I browse about…

I thought you might have adopted vanilla at the very first glance, I’m currently trying to shoehorn that into a site login script I’m writing to turn my crossfire site into a “social network”

urgh, even typing social network sucks :)

Yup. It’s built using the same framework as the rest of haveamint.com and the last 3 versions of ShaunInman.com. But feature-wise it’s heavily inspired by PunBB.

Bahhh. I could have sworn I heard some interview with you talking about building all the account stuff in rails.

So thats why my uni lecturers always went on about the joy of reusable code!!!

Shpigford, you did. But I couldn’t justify dumping all my legacy code and learning the intricacies of Apache or Apache-alternatives to co-support both languages. I’m schizophrenic as is trying to wrap my head around design, programming and supporting an increasingly popular application. :)

But I was definitely enamored with Ruby for a couple months there.

Forum looks great! Glad you stuck to the legacy work, and never jumped ship entirely!

Gonna release it?

I just wanted to accede to Sean Sperte’s question.

Very cool looking forum. It’s sparky clean like a Mint!

Although it looks great, the forum doesn’t works properly under Opera 9.10 (Windows). Am I the only one?

Opera:

Welcome to the suck.

Sean, undecided. It’s not documented well enough for primetime yet. And do we really need another PHP framework? :)

Scailay, nope. I am aware of the problem but it’s low on my list of priorities at the moment.

It’s a real pity that other developers don’t add the same level of design to their apps as you do Shaun :)

Are there any plans to add more features to the forum once things have settled down? Thread subscription would be nice ;)

There’s an RSS feed for the forum.
