You might know that we have been having issues with the Contao forum ever since we moved to PhpBB. None of the anti-spam plugins seems to work, so we finally decided to send new users to the moderation queue first.
However, we only have a handful of moderators, and since two of the most active ones have quit, new posts keep remaining unread in the queue for weeks. Very annoying for new users
We (the Contao team) have been thinking about possible solutions and have come up with two: either use yet another forum software or try to move to stackexchange.com. Stackexchange is one of the biggest Q&A platforms on the net, which hosts popular sites like stackoverflow.com or askubuntu.com.
http://stackexchange.com/sites#technology
Also, it seems that big projects like Magento, Wordpress or Drupal are there as well.
Now the question is: Shall we apply for a Contao Q&A site at stackexchange.com? Or try to run the forum with vBulletin?
