What’s the best mfgg software?

[VinnyVideo]

@Mario @Retriever II There were a few reasons why the 2009 MFGG staff wanted to move away from the IPB forums:

• Security holes: Since IPB 1.3 was six years old and wasn't being supported anymore, there were some hard-to-patch security holes.
  
• Glitches: The IPB MFGG suffered from a variety of problems, from chronic irritations to acute failures (like the software inexplicably deleting Mrs. Aforcer's account).
  
• Desire for a fresh start: The 2009 MFGG staff was growing tired of some bad attitudes coming from certain parts of the community (although this was partially a product of having a very large and active community - a large barrel will always have some bad apples). They proposed several changes to fix these problems and felt that it would be easier to implement them in a new board.
  
• New features: phpBB offered some features that IPB didn't (although it also lost a few features). One of the biggies was (partial) forum-mainsite integration.
  

"Awkward" is a good way to describe phpBB - it had a clunky interface, and the software never quite reached its full potential. A strong case could be made that MFGG would've been better off had we stuck with IPB for a while longer, but hindsight is 20/20.

Course clear! You got a card.
