<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Yeah, I didn't use portlets to build
our tools. We instead build OpenSocial gadgets. But, there are
100s of existing portlets which are distributed with Liferay alone
which are useful, and if we want to build a community where
developers can add new components to an existing suite of
components, what do you choose? Liferay is alone a great
community portal implementation, the fact that they implement
everything using a standardized architecture is a bonus to that.
The fact that they added OpenSocial gadget support is the reason I
chose to use Liferay-- a mature portal with 100s of existing
components and the ability to write in a programming language
agnostic, distributed component architecture (OpenSocial).<br>

a liferay installation which is a fully compliant JSR-168

one that ships with liferay. You can see it their forums in

What are the web apps that use it? (besides news and forums)
News can't possibly be creating the problem. For all practical purposes,
it is read-only.
Can we make the forums read-only and put up a banner that it is locked down?

I disabled new registrations on the servers, which I predict will prevent the pegging problem.
I couldn't find a sensible way to switch off registrations through the admin panel, so I went after the addmember.jsp file itself and moved it to /home/forums/servers/main/webapps/forums/mvnplugin/mvnforum/user/addmember.bak

I've been looking for a replacement. Should we take the discussion to sword-devel?
I think the key features that people have mentioned are:
Something that is actively maintained.
Something that does threading and quoting.
Something w/ decent spam and user management support.
Must work on RHEL 6. Good if it is part of the distribution.
Open source
The most popular db for forums is mysql. Very few work w/ firebird.
I'm willing to be an active admin for the software and database, but not the forum.
If we can come up w/ something to try, I can install it this weekend. Maybe sooner.
How about we try "myBB"?
See <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://mybb.com/features">http://myBB.com/features</a>
If we want to import current rather than start over empty:
vBulletin can import from mvnForum. It's the only one I could find that handles mvnForum.
myBB can import from vBulletin.
