Running a great forum is not easy and I would not go installing this on each and every site you own. Try it on one you can spend the most time on and understand how to manage a forum properly while at the same time how to moderate it as well. I run and moderate a few forums myself and it can become a job the more members you get.

That looks fantastic and is exactly what I have been looking for. I have a very active niche that I feel will do great with a forum attached. Great find, Dave!
I could use this with deadmule.com for those literary folks interested in Southern discussion. They'd love it.
Great find, thanks for this.
has this plugin been updated for wordpress 2.7?
