HAHAH!! I know what you mean!!
The funny thing is, i know all to well what you mean. When i first started my own board, i had a guy tell me he knew phpbb and could install it without a problem and have my forum up in minutes.. Ermmm.... Yea, needless to say, i wound up taking a crash course on phpbb while the whole time my database was being updated by members who were still posting and i could not access that database to do a back up!!
It was a mess, i finally figured it all out tho, im still trying to come to grips with php..
KRF would also be correct, i was talking about buying your software license.. I am wanting to open another forum but i want to rock some vB simply because i want to test out the SEO MOD.. There are some hacked scripts you can find on the net but they are older versions and i don't have time for bloat-ware..
