SourceForge?
SourceForge now has subversion hosting. Should I put the code for this site up there?
If so, what should be the name of the forums?

Crazy On Tap Forums?
BananaForums?
Fruitshow Forums?
With sourceforge can you limit access?

"Fruitshow Forums"
-- I was thinking that one. ;)
"With sourceforge can you limit access?"
You cannot limit read access (I don't think). Write access can be limited. I've never hosted a project on sourceforge but I have contributed to one or two in a limited fashion.

what exactly is the point of all this 'sharing'? I understand it's the code for the site (and that's about it) but I'm just not getting the why part of it?

I don't know if universal read access is a great idea yet. :)
And you definitely can't have the actual database password in the source, which is obvious, but yeah.

You'll need a gatekeeper regardless of where you host it, but sourceforge isn't a bad place to put it.
On Sourceforge you can't have a gatekeeper on reads, and that's what I worry about.
We may not get patches out quick enough to take care of the griefers.

There's only one live version though, why care about that?
How many live versions do you need in order to have a problem with griefers?

Some kind of pun on FogBugz or some subtle dig at Joel would be ideal. I can't think of any, but that's neither here nor there...
Nah it'd be petty.
I definitely vote for Fruitshow Forums

Fine then: JIGGERBOARD
PsycoForum??
Asylum??
(Not meant just as a dig, either, I actually think it describes the boards open intents.)
I'm thinking of dropping the "forums" and just calling it FruitShow.

Why not Banana ? It's plain and simple.
You can still fuck all the bananas you like, Vineet.
Do it on camera on your blog. It'll be more entertaining than your writing.

How do you know it's entertaining ?
Did you do it before?
In my imagination, you sodomizing yourself with fruit on your website is FANTASTIC, so I can only surmise.

geez, you have bad fetishes. I've never heard of fruit as a a fetish.
Oh it's not the least bit sexual.
For me.

maybe we must stop fighting. I hate to have bad blood between us. it is beyond my capabilities to argue with a phenomenon like you. I give up (if that's what you wanted to hear).
+Fruitshow. As if my opinion matters. Waaaah!
Sharkfish put it over the top, FruitShow it is.

I've got a CVS running on my site now -- it's a bit rough and ready (I think I've changed something significant in the original framework I cannibalised, but it works), and as I can restrict access it solves the patching speed problem. :)
