So are they hard to maintain and manage, or just hard to build?
IS yours built with css? once it was finished, could it be reskined and and repurposed? or would it take just as much effort as starting from scratch? If I wanted to hire someone to build one like yours or NT, what are the skills im looking for? Is it PHP? SQL?
Id lilke to create a forumn that would allow users to create an account like yours.

(Mar 6 06, 09:33)Well, I used to host PHPBB forums on determinedmoth for a few years (http://www.phpbb.com/). I wanted my own because PHPBB is far more than I needed and I wanted to scale back.
Mine is CSS, but my skills stretch to a good tailor made job rather than a portable "product". That wasn't a goal when coding it. I could probably reskin it and tweek it for another site and it wouldn't take too long, but I dont think anyone else would make sense of it as it stands.
For your reference, it's PHP/MySQL based, and if you're seriously looking, I'd willingly take the job ;) Of course this would re-use code so it might be quicker and cheaper than hiring someone to copy it.
From scratch, it took me the best part of 3 months, part-time.
