I found the site!  It was on on softpedia.com :: actual link :: http://webscripts.softpedia.com/cat/Discussion-Boards-list-30-1-4-0.html

I stumbled across it today and knew I've seen it before... it's where I found you guys.  

It had a "Good" rating and the screenshots looked good as well as "E-Blah is a Perl-based forum system requiring very low system requirements."

Everything else like user features I figured I could build myself.  It's the DIV formatting and the underlying database structure that takes forever.

I discovered an E-Blah forum on the website of a friend of a friend and since I'm needing to resurrect my own forum I thought I would check it out and now I have a tough decision to make as to which forum setup to use as I'm really liking E-Blah more than the one I just installed on my website.

Hi Justin  

It is done!  I rated it a 10 and left my comments.  They should be up shortly.  They will be under the user
mes.

Don't know why I didn't leave comments before...duh!!!  I had rated it a 10 but no comments, but that is fixed.


Have A Wonderful Day!

We all love E-Blah but let's be practical.  It's not a 10 yet.

Designers:  10+
E-Blah:       7.5-8.5

This should not be taken lightly by any means, especially since I'm using the SQL version, which is in Beta stages whereas the flat-file version is much more built up (has more options) and error free.  When will it reach 10 status?  I would say when we include the following:
  • SQL Version is up to date, supporting Oracle, DB2, Access, SQL Server
  • 100% error free, no bugs, no glitches, no errors
  • A whole list of easy-to-install mods (such as point system, games/arcade, reports, and more)
  • Built-in easily customizable templates as well as different forum layouts
  • Possibly AJAX based
  • Possibly have drag-and-drop attributes
  • Available in ASP, PHP, and CFM


In my opinion 10 is the extreme best - it has to do that and then some, for the time.  As of now, I would probably give the new 3.6.9 version of vBulletin a 8.25-9 and they're pretty established.  However they are not using Perl and they are not Free.  So I might even drop them down to a 7.5-8.5

Again, I love E-Blah and I think it has the most potential out of any forumware.  As stated before, once my website is up and I'm starting to generate traffic/profit E-Blah will be donated a piece.

I was a member of a forum that used it, then a friend set up a forum using E-Blah and made me an admin there. I've admin'd using phpBB, and modded on vBulletin but I like E-Blah

I found it on a website called forum matrix. They allowed me to work through a bunk of different software, I tried to run several but they all seemed to lack things I wanted and I kept coming back to eblah as being the one I liked.

Just did a dog pile search and E-Blah came up first.  I liked what I saw and I really liked the christian basis for the build.  I'll be installing it on my new site http://www.foreveranglican.com just as soon as I figure out how to do it.

Hi..I found it on Forum Matrix  http://www.forummatrix.org/show/E-Blah. I co-own a homeschooling web site and our forum program is on it's last legs due to be unsupported. I'm looking for a new forum program and I really, really like this one!

I'll be emailing you, Justin, to ask a few questions.
