To answer an earlier question, PHP is just a scripting programming language. There is nothing about PHP that makes "PHP"-Forums similar, or like anything in fact. It's that most are based on earlier Open Source coding efforts, i.e. they are mostly all iterations - some small some large - of an earlier work, that's why they look like "PHP-Forums". This Bondware 2.something < 3.0 Forum is clearly based on something like phpBB. While it is probably contractually and legally safe to hide it's original source, it is copyrighted code being used as a base, and it is normal to credit that effort publicly on the site somewhere. That Renderosity doesn't do it, when it itself gets so "high and mighty" about copyright infringements, I find unacceptable. As should many readers here... Another problem, as noted earlier this was not designed to run quickly, but it is clearly 2 to 3 times slower today than it was day 1. Time to give up on it, me thinks.
