You could put a reputation on every user.This way if somebody is very satisfied of the answers he receives he can increase the reputation to the one that answered by one.

Believe me we are discussing this among the moderators. This has been mentioned a couple of times recently :) If we get our own custom forum up and running we can actually create new add-ins like this very easily.

Thanks for taking interest ;)

I think phpBB already has a plugin for this developed, at least I've seen it over on http://www.rpgforumsonline.com/ where there's a rating like system. I can't search phpBB.com right now though because the search function appears to be broken (yet again!).

Installing mods for phpBB sucks. I know, I've spent way too many hours doing so.

I'd have nothing against the mod, but don't think the guys at DevNetwork are lazy if they choose to not install it...

My experiences with phpBB mods have been nothing but good. I've even installed an rpg mod (called ADR RPG Mod for those interested PM me) in around 10-20 minutes without any trouble. There's also the "EasyMod" which basically runs a script through a text file for you. But that's just my experience :)

Well said :P Esp. when phpBB already has some mods installed it can be a little painful

There are alot of faulty karma systems out there, and that is because there is a lot of factors to consider. Just because some one has already made a karma system does not neccesarily mean that it is what we are after, which is an un-abusive, fair rating and maintainable system.

I'd have to say that modding phpBB isn't a lot of fun - and the process has to be repeated every time a new version of phpBB comes out.

Different coders have different styles. The big problem I have is that I'm used to 100% OOP & unit tests and so working with phpBB is not a happy experience. I haven't got a clue what's going on half the time and I don't have any way to properly verify edits.
