I was actually going to post something very similar to this. Basically my question was would you take a site that used phpbb seriously. I ask this because I am thinking about starting my own gaming community. And I am going to buy a 20 man server for Battlefield 2 and that is quite expensive so I am thinking twice about forking over the cash for vbulletin. So back to my question, would you take a site serious that was using phpbb, with mods that are usefull but not pointless or overdone, and had a customized skin? The site would have its own 20 man gaming server and 20 man teamspeak server if that would help the image.
