MR> That is amazing - and what a good advertisement for FB as a web server DB :)

We already discussed privatelly about FB forum with Alexey Kovyazin.

PHP BB is a piece of s..t when working with FB - it uses MySQL
approach for working with data. It stores sessions in a tables and
permanently does select count(*) from them (tables) - while it works
fine with MySQL it is not suitable for FB. We`v used it for a public
forum - performance drastically degraded in a few weeks.

Instead, we have our own forum (ok, it is not so "feature rich" as PHP
BB, but it was written for the FB and exploits all it`s features
(SP/Triggers/generators).
We are using it for our space game and for one of the local fotbal clubs
(you can check it here, it is in Russian, but you can just browse
without reading: http://fc-sheriff.com/ru/forum/).

I`ll setup short version today or tomorrow and will send link for all
interested in testing. We can add _ANY_ functionallity to it.
