Hello,

My name is Mike Wes (Netherlands) and I am new to this
listing. I own sincs a few days a RAQ4 :-). 
I have a comment about the forum topic below. It might be
interesting to look at forums as 'phorum' (phorum.org) or
phpbb (with avatars, smilies, logins etc etc..). I modified
phorum , so I am able to use smilies. The performance of
phorum is, so far I know, excellent. PHPBB generates more
HTML stuff (tables, etc), which is in my case less
interesting (ADSL, so I want to keep the data-packages so
small as possible). My personal favourite is Phorum. Both
type of forums are using PHP/MYSql.

Regards

Mike
