Re: [cobalt-developers] message board is ready

That is a valid opinion.  I will post your comments to the download page,
and emphasize that it is for light duty use.

I am looking for another message board that I can package simiarly, (as well
as other program useful to Raq community) but because the only database that
I can count on being in the server is Postgres 7.0.x, it makes it slightly
difficult.

There are several very good boards that support this database, however I
have found many users to be overwhelmed with their complexity.  Bazooka
board is the first message board I've seen that satisfies my specific need
for simplicity.

I agree though, that if a customer cater's to high volume sites, this would
not be a good application.  The disk I/O would be too high.  However if a
person caters to low volume websites, an area where the Cobalt serves
exceptionally, they would probably find this to be a satisfactory option.
