I've been using phpbb2.x for about 5 to 6 years now. I've been hacked at least three times, but other than that, the open-source forum system has been good to me and my 35+ unique visitors that use the board monthly.

My roommates have brought back from the dead, an old AMD Semron 3200+ computer and installed an extremely streamlined Windows XP installation to be used as a media server alongside our 60" DLP TV. Since I have Netflix I instantly added their instant play service and stumbled upon "The Whitest Kids U Know", a sketch comedy show.
