Interesting forum system, mudkicker. Just what I was looking for actually.

I was thinking about making my own but now that I know about that, it'll save me loads of time. ;)

Yeah their site doesn't anymore, didn't realize that when I posted that. :?

But you can still get the 1.3.1 final version, and 2.0 public development release here: mod: link removed

And if you google around, I'm sure other places have it.
