mmm, dont want to put words in his mouth, but Im guessing sam chose a java forum, becuase its his main programing language. and I get the impresion hes "freaky good" when it comes to java 
Rafael Steil doesnt allow any modifcation of his code yet, and some people have but got permision.
I dont see sam having the time to write his own, with all the features people are used to.
er...wtf?

Not what it says here.
If your stuck on getting the code use this CVS source.
Host cvs.dev.java.net
Path /cvs
Server Type pserver
Username guest
Module jforum
I should of said. Download the tools and read the manual and the copyright and interlectual property stuff, you can do what you like but some need aproving some you have to declare etc ^^
But anway, it may be the fact that there is bugger all in the database, but this forum is coded well and runs quickly.
its the also added factor jugs and co would have to learn something new as well as other admin and mods now :/
I think we should all put the effort in, testing all sorts of forums and options and give feedback, just in case this doesnt stay.
But as always its the people that run it and the people that posted that make these forums, it may not be the biggest but its linked ofton all over the web.
