<PRE>This thread really peaked my interest ...

</I>><i>
</I>><i> I was actually doing this comparison not primarily for the future

</I>><i>
</I>><i> I had mostly decided to take myBB since it has a very good reputation

</I>To me, the translations available, and their quality, are important
factors for forum software.
The phpBB presentation on their site looks good, and they have a lot of
translations available - as plugins.
But the FUDforum site - and the translations available - is really
impressive.
Many languages are available out-of-the-box, and many more can be added.
Also, translations can be readily created - or corrected - which is a
big plus, as we won't be dependant on others to correct simple
translation errors, or add new translations.
I don't know the features in detail, but from the presentation on the
respective sites, I would also choose FUDforum for Mageia.
My 2 cents
