From ReefHound: What’s the reasoning for a custom designed forum engine...
If I wanted DiveBuddy to be just like everyone else, I would use a free "off the shelf" product. Creating the code from scratch allows me to tailor the site for scuba divers and gives me the freedom to do anything I want with it. Since DiveBuddy is a true social network...a forum is just one piece of the whole package and it needs to integrate well with the rest of the site. Pre-canned forum sites are a dime a dozen.
Plus, I own all the intellectual property of the stuff I create :)
New forum views coming soon....
