Uhm, I don't think the forums are finished. There's still quite some functionality missing.

What about automatically marking threads that have been viewed as read? Performance issues or not, a forum that does not have this basic functionality cannot be taken seriously.

What about sorting options for threads? Yes, we can sort threads by last post or by starting date, but we cannot set our preferences for sorting in our options.

What about advanced search? The basic search facility works, but any serious forum has an advanced search form where the user can specify what to search for, in what fields, and what to exclude.

If I were a potential Bondware customer I would not accept the forum package as it is right now. It is less functional than almost every other forum package out there - and most of those are open source and free.

The forum software is far from finished.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
