Things have gone a bit quiet on the m2f front. George is busy with life these months, and I’ve been working hard on my master studies.

The new beta version is really reaching maturity. All m2f users are recommended to upgrade, unless they are running a particularly vital or busy forum which must have no downtime.

Mail 2 Forum joins two separate worlds of internet based communication together. The phpBB web based bulletin board and other forum systems existed completely separately and isolated from existing email based mailing list or list serve systems. Each system operated independently. Separately, each system has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The purpose of Mail 2 Forum is to overlap the functionality of both forum systems and mailing list systems. Mail 2 Forum gives the user the best of both worlds.... read more
