    ok. tks for the reply. any other ideas?

    I really dont care about the functions, as the forum itself already have most things i need. maybe 1 or 2 hacks should be installed. nothing much.


    also, i am running on a dedicated server:

    AMD 5600+
    2GB RAM
    Centos + Cpanel
    2x400GB HDD

    shoud this server be ok for a large forum board?

    I have readed that vbulletin consumes too many resources.

    between SMF and PHPBB3 what do you recommend?

    Best Regards
