<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>I'd like to finish up the features that I'm working on, release a final version, and approach the message board in a different fashion. I'd like to grab another GNU message board and add the features from RPGBoard missing on the other, instead of visa-versa. I'm way behind on my feature set, but there are a lot of features on this board that aren't found anywhere else. I'd like to make sure those features don't get lost.
The codebase is a very real issue, too. It's still in standard Perl, slow, buggy, and sloppy. I know a ton more about Perl than I did 7-8 years ago. I'd like the totally rewrite RPGBoard, but I really don't feel up to doing that monstrous of a project, and it would just seem that I'm re-inventing the wheel, anyway. The baseline forum that I would fork needs to be:
<i>GNU Public License
Written in Perl (strangely rare these days, with PHP dominating the market)
Mod_Perl compatible (or at least written in "use strict" code)
A powerful enough feature set that I don't have to completely rewrite the thing
A nice, professional design</i>
YaBB seems like a good choice, but I'm open to suggestions. It's hard to find a good candidate, though. A lot of them are either too simple, non-GNU pay boards, or written in PHP.

Rosalina: But you didn't.
Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?
Rosalina: No.
Robert: The subjunctive?
Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
Robert: I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.
