I like the style of these forums.

It's a free, open source code, too, which mean we can fuck it up as much as we want to, adding whatever features we want.
It's called PunBB, and more info can be found here:

Getting back to business
Ok, folks. Works started to quiet down lately, so I thought I'd take a stab at the member profile set up. Basically, I'm seeing it as a list of names, fully searchable/filterable form the sidebar. You can click a name to expand it, to get a glance at some details, then click a second link to see the full person. You will also be presented with two other little tools, Send Message and Mark as Friend. Evan, we should be able to this using some fancy Ajax web GUI goodness. Check out www.netvibes.com to see expandable boxes.
I'm also proposing a colour-coded networking solution. Basically, people you mark, or people who have marked you as a "Friend" show up in green, friends of your friends are blue, and people to whom you have no connection are purple. Eventually, there prbly wont be any purple left, keeping blue and green in the spotlight.
Here it is. What do you think?
