引用 Martti Malmi 的文字Martti Malmi来源 ↗Drupal 的论坛功能怎么样？地址： https://174.143.149.98/drupal/。这个 CMS 总体上看起来比 TikiWiki 更好、更简单。如果论坛不够好，我们当然也可以使用 phpBB 这样的专用论坛软件。
How about Drupal's forum functionality? Address: https://174.143.149.98/drupal/. The CMS in general looks better and simpler than TikiWiki. If the forum's not good enough, then we can of course use a specialized forum software like phpBB.
我又想到了 zetaboards 的一个问题：大多数免费论坛网站不会让你在搬家时导出用户账户数据库。我不知道为什么没见其他软件项目使用免费论坛，但我只能假定，这背后可能有我们以后才会发现的原因。
Another issue I thought of with zetaboards: most free forum sites won't let you export the user account database if you want to move. I don't know why I don't see any other software projects using a free forum, but I have to assume there might be a reason we would discover later.
如果你能在 VPS 上安装 phpBB3，那可能是更好的选择。
If you can install phpBB3 on your VPS, that's probably the better option.
从我在其他论坛看到的情况来看，如果带宽费用成了问题，在顶部放一小块 Google Adwords（文字链接），即使是游戏这样价值很低的流量，收入也能超过带宽成本。这里的流量价值会高得多，而且非常适合报酬较高的黄金商家关键词和 VPN 主机商广告。它最终可能成为一项有价值的收入来源，你不会想把它白白送给某个免费网站。
From what I've seen on other forums, if the cost of bandwidth becomes an issue, a small Google Adwords (text links) at the top generates more than the cost of bandwidth even for very low value traffic like gaming. This would be much higher value traffic well targeted for high paying gold merchant keywords and VPN hosts. It could eventually be a valuable revenue stream you wouldn't want to give away to some free site.
我想在论坛上提前公布 0.2 版的一些功能，试着让大家期待起来。即使几乎没有其他人发帖，我也见过一些项目论坛，大部分帖子都是作者宣布最新改动的进展。用户可以看到项目在推进、在改进、有人支持，而不是被遗弃的软件。那样有点像博客，但用户更容易把它当作可搜索的 FAQ，组织也更好。我每次用 google 搜索软件问题，大多数结果都是论坛帖子。
I want to pre-announce some of the features in version 0.2 on the forum and try to get some anticipation going. Even if hardly anyone else is posting, I have seen project forums where most of the posts are the author announcing what's going on with the latest changes. Users can see progress going on, see that it's improving and supported and not abandonware. It's a little like a blog in that case, but easier for users to use it as a searchable FAQ and better organized. Whenever I google search software questions, most of the hits are forum posts.
