Hi Doug,

I'm thinking that working on the existing PHPBB might be better served.  For 
instance, if we are able to make the existing phpBB script work then we 
might be able to convince some (or perhaps many) administrators to carry 
fidonet on some of the more popular forum sites by providing a simple, 
"add-on".

What do you think?
