Development Discussion Board

I think what callumacrae possibly means is, that you should maybe first fix/add some smaller things to phpbb to get a "feel for the code". After that start with a major feature like you have been already. If you start with something big immediately and get stuck, it can become very quickly frustrati...

More social? You have a platform where people can interact by posting messages and interact in discussions. How more "social" can you get. I personally have no need for the so called "modern" facebook-like social, which usually just ends in an endless list of mind numbing crap. So a definite -1 from...

Personally I do not see anything against it, so a +1 from me too.

I disagree, I think it should stay as a mod/add-on/plugin which shouldn't be difficult to achieve when the hooks are introduced. Also why Facebook and not Google+, Microsoft social, or one of the numerous other "social" networks?
