You want to create a small community for your site, so you look into php scripts. You want a secure and solid script that isn't filled with nasty bugs and actually works. You search the web and find that nearly all of the php scripts out there are either non-functional and insecure, or they are bulky and slow or they have everything but the kitchen sink. The authors of php Ground was fed up with the nonsense and decided to write a few scripts of there own, that did what we wanted, instead of what a bunch of company share holders thought they wanted.
