good idea to integrate phpbb?

[mimi78]

Hi guys :) I'm almost done with my site... and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to integrate phpbb. I see most sites have a link to the forum but they don't do the integration.

What are the pro and cons?

thank you

The only advantage I can see in integration is that when people create accounts in either program, it also creates an account in the other (I think that's the way it works).

The built-in function only works with phpBB2, though, and I don't think that's as secure as the latest version. There's a thread in the forum about integrating phpBB3.

Thanks Stevesh I'll look into it.
