I am not sure that lost time to make a super forum is better than put the finish touch to MoI :)

Nothing is near phpBB,... but I am definately with [url=http://usebb.net/]UseBB[/url]. which is times faster than phpBB,... and easily extensible, customisable,...

Me, i like very well this forum presentation.

One thing is really much better than PHPBB in this forum, is the attachment file system possibility.

Yes, I love the attachement option.
I'd like thumbnails for attachements visable though.

I feel the possability to illustrate within the body of your text would be very helpfull,
especialy with the visual nature of so many discussions here.
Linking to a remote hosted image (ala ImageShack) within your text, gets my vote.

You can type in some HTML tags to do this, for instance, typing in this:

<img src="http://moi3d.com/images/weblogo.png">

Will get you this:

I really like this forum layout as well. It works well with the clean interface theme of the software.

I've used PhpBB and vBulletin extensively. PhpBB is good if you're looking for something free but at the same time have some extra time to work with it. You may have to look thru some less than precise documentation to do upgrades and add the modules you want and this can sometimes be quite frustrating. Not to mention, due to its popularity it gets hacked all the time, which is reason enough for me not to choose it for something important.

vBulletin costs a little and has great features out of the box and great support. You only need to look at cgsociety's forums to see that its been proven.

As good as both of those forums can be, I hate the default layout of clicking on the category, then getting a thread list, then clicking a thread to see a post, all the time switching to a completely different page. This layout feels so much less stressful to use. People should enjoy browsing the forum, not be annoyed by it. This one gets my vote.
