other than the rotating banners (and that ability was with either with the theme or with the install, i can't remember off-hand, but if you didn't notice go back and hit refresh a couple/few times) i can't think of anything we modded, eveything we wanted to add was already there. we force the guys to use the website instead of linking everything to the forums. it was a design decision a long, long time ago.

I wanted to be able to do things on the admin side i couldn't do with other free software without modding, but these things are always a personal prefrence deal.

edit: we did bridge the user DB from PHPBB3 to the joomla website, but that is a joomla mod, bb3 just made it possible. that was a major reason for our choice.
