Some hi-quality comments on Nicholas Petreley's review from that forum:

phpBB is a good forum package despite its limitations. It's snappy, has all of the necessary features for a basic forum and is incredibly easy to set up and manage.
so let me guess they didnt look at the features properly and they didnt look at the mod database

Very founded arguments. One can literally feel that he knows the software he's ranting at

But why there's no reasoning for it, if it's said to be obvious? When we discussed phpBB we did name arguments against it. However, this is not needed at their forums because:

Yeah it's that easy. It seems the forum's peace is at stake once someone dares talking about a different software. What an embarrassing statement for a mod. I pity those people, but it proves they are aware of their software's limitation.
just my 2¢

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. I am sure that eventually someone will provide a much pretier default layout to FUDforum as well. 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.
