Running this forum software on my server

[Wiz]

Hi, I run a web hosting company and I have a client who wants to set up forums for their clients. I use these forums here at ANANDTECH extensively and enjoy them.
I run my servers on NT4 server with Cold Fusion Server Version 3.11 and MS SQL server Version 7.
Can I get some general advice and pointers etc... about this software, recommendations for or against, other software that would also do the job? I run a multihomed Website Pro web server model and an email server as well.
Does this software require a lot of resources to run with a small client base? I'm sure it would never grow to the size of the forums here and I am also sure it would start out with only a small handful of users over the first 6 to 9 months.
Thanks for any help.

I have installed Fusetalk on my website, and let me tell you, this is one great program. Your client has made one great decision to choose this program. This program will work just fine on a smaller user base.

More info can be obtained here about Fusetalk : Fusetalk Info

You can also download a demo to try it out, and I guarentee you will love Fusetalk.

Thank you. One thing I see on their site is that it says it needs Cold Fusion 4.0 and I have CF server 3.11 - will that be a problem?

Wiz, Jason from e-Zone here. Yes, unfortunately that will be a problem as some of the functions rely on 4.x tags. 3.x is quite old now, almost obsolete . 5.0 is just around the corner.
