And by the way, I think Esyndicat is a great script too. I just wanted to address the comment about number of forum members, since the question was posed.
just make it easy on yourself and create 2 directories. ... one with esyndicat and phpld. You'll never have to wonder which one is the best again.
When I need a script, i usually go to hotscripts.com. There you'll get plenty of choises. Pick one that interest you and suit with your project
You could go with the free version and then if you like change it to the paid My opnion is that the $25 version is really worth it
