So I'm stalking the MUD community again, and I was curious about Quicksilver Forums and QSF Portal, as I'm spinning up a forum of my own. Sadly the only link that works as you'd imagine is the one for MercuryBoard, which simply points to Quicksilver Forums. QSF Portal goes to a totally unrelated site, while Quicksilver Forums seems to be having PHP issues.

Just thought I'd toss that out there.

QSF Portal (and all its parent projects) are abandonware and definitely not a good choice for a new site / forums project. I doubt they would ever run on modern version of PHP.

The links at the bottom of the site should probably be changed into plain text or made to link to some kind of historical wiki article or whatnot.

For your forums, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_...

It was more out of curiosity. I've sort of dived into Vanilla Forums - having already studied the framework enough to write a plugin (and working on another). I have a big desire for self-moderation, which is quite possible there.

It looks like Samson has a version of QSFP available on Github: https://github.com/Arthmoor/QSF-Portal

Why? If they're valid links then whatever. This site should be crediting them if it uses their software. They can change them to text or wiki links when the official site ceases to be available.

Edit: The link to QSF Portal should be nixed or linked elsewhere, as OP noted…

My go-to forum if I don't feel like spending much time fiddling is PHPBB. It's fairly easy to install, it works well, it has more features than I need.
