Well, I am sick and tired of deleting spam posts.
I hope you all cannot see them - they come in at a rate of ~30 / day.
Using phpBB is not ideal - it doesn't stop them from signing up... at a rate of ~200 / day.
I am thinking of something that uses OpenID - that might slow them down a bit.
There is no current, updated OpenID auth for phpBB that I can find.
Hence - does anyone else have any suggestions for a way to run the Open-AudIT discussion board ?
It doesn't even have to be a forum.
I tried mucking about with Wordpress and allowing people to sign up (using an OpenID plugin), and be able to create posts that others could then comment on. Uses tags instead of phpBB's forums.
Try it here -

Seemed to work OK, but it has some drawbacks.
Something like Stack-Overflow would work well - voting is cool !
It has to be free (unless you want to pay for it).
Preferably run on Linux (my hosting is on Linux, I can admin Linux, etc, etc).
I was thinking even further ahead of a "project" type website that would have sections like this...
"Learn More..." - brochure pages
"Blog" - wordpress, blogger articles
"Discuss" - stackoverflow
"Features" - uservoice, ideatorrent
"Help" - stack overflow
"Bugs" - stack overflow + other fields - status (new, verified, fixed, duplicate)
"Documentation" - like codeigniter + PHP manual style user comments/additions to each page + versioned
"Demo" - installed demo version of OAv2
"Download" - releases, trunk
"Statistics" - accept "in OAv2" report of how many and what types of devices. Show stats.
"Example Reports" - for download
"ChangeLogs" - auto generated from Bazaar commits
"F.A.Q" - wordpress, blogger articles
But in an "all-in-one" package. Yeah right, this does not exist - I know. I could code it in my spare time - yeah, right. Sigh.
Anyone have any thoughts and/or suggestions ?
