Updates

Most of you have probably heard of vBulletin, FuseTalk, and phpBB. The two former are quality products but are costly. phpBB is a nice implementation of a bulletin board in php, and is pretty easy to set up. I use phpBB for the current forums, however, there will be some changes coming by the end of 2011:

Railboards. A new forum system written using Ruby-on-Rails, and served on top of nginx/Apache using Phusion Passenger. It will incorporate all the major features found in other boards, but will be FREE. Not just monetarily, but also the other kind of FREE SOFTWARE. It will be available on github.com once the code is sufficiently stable and usable. It is a feature of the upcoming ticketing/bug-tracker system we are developing and we decided to develop and package it separately.
