No external notability. All sources are from their own site. One random software of many. Merrill Stubing (talk) 21:09, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Lacking sources; yes. However, along with Invision Power Board and vBulletin, one of the most popular forum software packages. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:14, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete-Lack of third party sources needed to establish notability, so assertion of "popularity" seems to be WP:OR. Jonathanwallace (talk) 15:07, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, weakly. The references in the actual article are poor, but I did find some fairly extensive coverage in books, including third party how-to and reference books[1][2][3] which would seem to pass the notability hurdle. This software and service is targeted at the general public. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:10, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
