What forum program are you using? (Read 988 times)

He built it completely from scratch. Good stuff, eh?

I've used Snitz forum in the past with excellent results. It's powerful and free! http://forum.snitz.com/

THanks for the info guys. JerseyDevil, I was looking at Snitz. Is it easy to use Snitz with and existing authentication scheme? I Use ASP.NET Default Membership and don't want my users to log into the forum if they are already logged into my site. Eric, I apologize if this is way off topic (from RunningAhead) and cluttering your forum. ;o) Dugr

Dugrhill, et al, We're interviewing another candidate today for our entry level developer position. At the pre-interview meeting where we coordinate so that we won't ask the same questions, one of the managers said that we should always remember to check if the candidate is a code monkey or an independent thinker. We all looked at him funny because we're all code monkeys. We're developers and that is what we get paid to do. Anyway, can you imagine getting interviewed by 4 developers and 3 managers individually for your first job? I'll probably kill myself halfway through from the pressure alone. Poor kid... I wrote the forum code in one weekend several years ago, which explains why it's so simplistic looking. I decided to write it myself because I'm a code monkey and I enjoy that sort of thing, and because I felt that it probably takes me the same amount of time to write it myself or to integrate it with an off the shell package. Although the forum code offered only the basic features, it will let me integrate it with the rest of the site, particularly the training log. I have an idea of what the next version will look like. It will fix the double posting problem, along with other niceties. Hopefully it won't outshine the training log, which will remain the primary component of RA.

... I'm a code monkey and I enjoy that sort of thing...

 

A flying code monkey?
