i don't see real difference between sf hosted apps and normal forum - forum is not coffee maker, it's a place to discuss.
and yeah they're using modded version of phpbb, because it uses sf.net account.
and yeah, rsx++' forum is down and i'm not going to bring it back untill i get answer for my question from sf.net team - i've requested smf forum script - if they reject it, i'm going to change to phpbb, if they approve it, i'm going to use smf @ hosted apps :]

Re: Airdc lost domain again?
so far I have found the following reasons to not wanting to use the current hosted apps forum at sf:
*) user registrations is done by sf account
which means among other things that I will have to change my name on sf or reg a new one if I want to be en_dator there as I currently have another name on sf
it also means that paranoid users wont like it
it also means that sf has removed all register links from the forum soft, to make users know how to reg on the forum I will have to redirect them to sf
*) not possible to use any skins/themes
*) not possible to use any mods
*) not possible to store data anywhere (except in the mysql db)
(unfortunately this seems also true of the web space provided )
*) no possibility to make a frontpage or portal page connected to the forum, except if useing the webspace, but that is not writeable by the webserver so it must be a static page only
*) big red sf logo over the entire upper part of the screen
*) I havent found a way to even put own logo on the forum yet, but I hope at least that should be possible
There is probably more reasons to not use it, but what I have found so far put me off enough
And I'm not saying that it doesnt work, because I think it works and serves its purpose, its just very limited in regards to forum functions.
