I want to have a place where players can discuss the game with other players and directly submit feedback to me, the developer.
So I started researching forum software. I spent a day trying out MyBB and got so far as to install it locally using the lab.wx3.com database server.
A major requirement was the ability to automatically register players in the forum when they register for the game. Unfortunately, MyBB doesn't play well with CodeIgniter, the framework I use for the user authentication gateway-- it appears that MyBB's reliance on global variables runs into trouble if CodeIgniter uses a variable of the same name.
Now I'm moving on to the next forum candidate, SMF, which has integration hooks, suggesting it was developed to support the integration features I'm looking for.
