Modification Description:
This mod aims to take the most popular features of social networking and integrate them seamlessly with your phpBB forum. This mod will not make your forum a clone of twitter or facebook. Instead, it aims to enrich your forum experience with additional functionality, whilst maintaining the forum experience.
This mod will integrate itself with your forum's current style as closely as possible. One of the major aims of this mod, is that those users who do not wish to deviate from the core phpBB functionality will barely notice that the mod is installed at all. At the same time, those users who do wish to utilise the enhanced features that this mod will provide, will be able to do so with ease and fun.
Modification Version: 0.0.3-dev
