Re: Plone vs. phpBB

While I'm always evangelizing the use of Plone, if all you're looking  
for is a good bulletin board software, then Plone is probably overkill.

A couple that I've heard good things about:

Simple Machines Forum (PHP-based)
http://www.simplemachines.org
(Enfold has integrated this in a Plone site for single-signon):

Pocoo (python-based)
