I've been looking for a replacement. Should we take the discussion to sword-devel?

I think the key features that people have mentioned are:
	Something that is actively maintained.
	Something that does threading and quoting.
	Something w/ decent spam and user management support.
	Must work on RHEL 6. Good if it is part of the distribution.
	Open source

The most popular db for forums is mysql. Very few work w/ firebird.

I'm willing to be an active admin for the software and database, but not the forum.

If we can come up w/ something to try, I can install it this weekend. Maybe sooner.

How about we try "myBB"?

See http://myBB.com/features


If we want to import current rather than start over empty:

vBulletin can import from mvnForum. It's the only one I could find that handles mvnForum.

myBB can import from vBulletin.
