    I think you are wrong in several ways. The times I have set up
    fbb have been easy. Included is a scipt which you run, which creates
    all the needed directories and creates a default setup. I have
    rarely encountered a similar piece of complex software which is
    so easy to set up.

    The english is certainly not bad and the licensing has been GPL
    for over a year now.

    Low standard software? Can you explain to me why it is used all over
    the world by almost every bbs?
