I intended to hire PHP design firm with a request to implement
discussion board according to my needs and start from the existing one.

They told me they do not modify Open Source software but write new one.
Of course I did not hire them. I chose PunBB and I am slowly making my
way through it myself.

Later I talked to another programmer and he told me:

I am a programmer myself (not web) and am little disappointed. Is this a
common opinion among PHP programmers, or I am just aproaching the wrong
people ?

Thanks for opinions
