Hey Guys,
Since euphoria is capable of doing CGI work, would it be possible to make a
forum in Euphoria, you know like PHPBB. Or vBulletin forum stuff.

EUforum is completely written in Euphoria:

What features of those other forums would you like to see?

Yes.
But why bother? There are so many *free* feature-rich forums available ...

Well I was thinking if it was possible to use Euphoria to make a forum like
PHPBB or vBulletin. Is euphoria capable of doing this?

I can't answer that because I'm not familiar with those systems,
but I can say that EUforum could be made a lot fancier if more
use were made of CGI to customize each operation for each user.
I've steered away from that partly because I was worried that if
a CGI program were called each time someone viewed a message,
it might push the CPU requirements up quite a bit. Already I
have a program running 24/7 on a host that I only pay $4/month for
(though the program sleeps a lot).
The EUforum searches can also take a fair bit of CPU.
I don't want to push my luck and get the administrators annoyed,
or worse, demanding more cash from me per month. 
EUforum is customized for Euphoria in a lot ways that
an off-the-shelf system would not be. e.g.
- it takes messages for moderation from Topica as well as
direct posting on the Web interface
- it filters off-topic posts etc. automatically
- it searches messages that were archived using
various, incompatible systems over the years
- it accepts logins and passwords that are also used
for User Contributions
- it provides an RSS feed
- it has syntax-highlighting for Euphoria programs
- it has integrated Google ads that bring in a buck or two
per day for RDS
- if it breaks down for any reason, there's an expert (me)
who can fix it quickly

Yes, Euphoria is very capable of that. I plan on ultimately building an
integrated forum module for my BBCMF. I do not know how well it will scale!
One day I'd like to put it to the test, but these days I've got 20 projects
going on at one time- two of which are a teenage boy and a teenage girl. ;)
http://www.cklester.com/euphoria/bbcmf
If you look at the bottom of that page, it gives a few stats. The home page
is running about 41 queries and spitting out the web page in about 1.4 secs.
That's probably not good enough for a forum, but the code is not optimized
at all. Sometimes I drool thinking what could be if a Parnell or Lewis or
CChris or Lomax or any of the leet Euphoria programmers got their hands on
it. Maybe one time I could sponsor some help in that area! :)
Of course, when I turn on caching, it serves it up in less than a second,
but I don't see how caching would help a forum module... Well, yes I do
but I would really like to see what Euphoria can do without having to
resort to a cache solution (though MOST software HAS TO, even C).

To whom are you replying? It's customary to quote a little, as I've done above,
to clarify your context.
But seeing that you've asked essentially the same question twice, I'll give you
the same answer twice:
Yes.
But why bother? There are so many *free* feature-rich forums available ...

Even forums written in PHP are very resource consuming and the speed of forums
like vBulletin, phpBB, etc. is due to MySQL and not to the language (usually
PHP).

Rob,
Here's a link to a *very* nicely done forum,
for a very powerful open source app for audio processing, "Audacity",
(which uses a Lisp variant to make plug-in's, maybe Euphoria could be
used like that also, maybe David Cuny would know?):

Hi Don
Thats phpbb (look down at the very bottom)
Incidentally Uboard still exists
http://uboard.proboards32.com/index.cgi
(threads threads threads galore)
All it takes is for everyone on this list to agree to something at once, and
all change at once to there.
Oh, I just realised what I said!

Well I think I'll attempt to make my own forum in Euphoria. I think there
are mySQL libraries for Euphoria. Just to give you guys an idea of what I want
to acheive is...
A reputation system similar to the one in vbulletin
post count
admin and mod priveleages
multiple categories and forums and subforums
unlimited amount of memebers
password protected areas
user groups
A lot more. I'll give more info when I have more of it acutally coded.

Hmm... that will be hard to achieve!
I have thought many times in writting a vBulletin clone in Euphoria, but time...
I am interested, Andy.
