thus spake hackie some minutes ago

Don't forget that FUD's apparent ugliness in their eyes is also a limitation, because as everyone knows FUD's very limited templating system sucks...

Yeah the never-ending story about people who judge the looks and not the engine behind Smile

. I find it interesting that these claims come from people who have never tried to customize a forum themselves. I have and I appreciate the freedom FUD gives me, unlike other solutions which hardly let u any other choice but inserting hex-values for the background color or exchanging the forum's knobs, buttons and switches Wink

this added prottoss some minutes ago

phpBB had been fortunate enough to have a professional art designer make their layout. Comperatively speaking their 1.X releases were damn ugly, layout wise.

Fortunate for them because it could obscure some weak spots efficiently Wink

. Concerning their 1.x series, not only has it been very ugly, but also very limited in terms of functionality, security and privacy. Has been the 1st php board I ve ever played around with and I was really disappointed when comparing to the (perl) cgi based big ones.

prottoss continued

However the ability to customize FUDforum layout has lead to numerous customization of layouts that often make it even difficult to tell that the backend is FUDforum. That is my opinion is true power.

Exactly my opinion. Customization of each aspect of the forum and not just some fancy buttons in the background. Wink

. I still don't know why some people state the forum would be ugly. Its design is functional and straight to the point, not too much distracting the eye. I don't like those bells and whistles which take an eternity to load. And so do visitors with 50.6kbit modem connection Wink
