[Compcomm] A possible forum merge proposal

[Stephen Moore]

i can't remember where i said it, but it doesn't matter (probably in this
thread somewhere close by, sorry if i repeat myself so soon after posting
this....)

get a team of people to work on a phpbb3 forum
and another team to work on a vb forum at the same time

after a while, (few weeks/month/whatever) the team with the most problems
stops what they're doing and helps the other team...

it would waste effort, yes, but in theory it would stop the arguements, as
this would prove which forum is better, both in terms of functionality and
in terms of what suits our needs....

......*sees the future, expects logic to be turned upside down*........
