well why dont you come with a totally new concept of forums? this looks like a straight copy of IPB. I know that they code is different and there is no special admin area, so the code is no rip but the design can be much better, special if you want to make a difference in this kind of buseniss, there are many forum softwares out there, and they only ones which get big are the ones who have something special, different than the others. I installed it on my own site and it works fine, installing is working fine, maybe an attachted textfile which explains the process and what you can do with ur software will be nice. And ur site needs an update.
