New forums, phpBB integration rumor

So with the new s2Member forums would the rumored phpBB integration be a thing of the past? Not that I expected it but it seemed a nice possibility. If that won’t be happening (again, no blame) might I ask why you abandoned to old phpBB forum format? Security? Integration, etc?

I recently switched my site over to simplePress and rather enjoy it (works well with s2Member) but I do miss the general speed and functionality of phpBB.

Any answers are appreciated!

Hi there. Thanks for your inquiry.

Nope, not out of the picture, you’ll see this feature added one day soon. We moved away from phpBB just because it’s a separate application, which does not integrate as deeply with our other offerings.

Thanks for the info Jason. I’m pretty well ready to pull the trigger on phpBB when you guys open up the bridge. Really – the big deal will be connecting the database/members from s2Member to phpBB. if that is on the table for integration then I’m one happy camper. Right now simplePress is doing a great job of creating a pretty lively offering so I may have impetus to stay with it if/when phpBB becomes and option.

THANK YOU!
