Nicely integrated into the layout of the rest of the site.

Is this PunBB? It looks a lot like it, but... can't figure it out.
Re: Post your "in the wild" siting of PunBB here.
No it isn't.

Pretty boring punbb implementation, although the loopnotes service itself sounds kind of interesting.

My God. look at all the sub-forums they have in some forums!! Top level forum Europe has about 40 sub-forums, and then some of these sub-forums themselves (eg Europe > France) have 10+ forums themselves. Overall number of forums/sub-forums on the site must exceed 200+.
The code must perform like a pig in terms of queries etc.
Also having all those subforums is not very user-friendly. You get a very crowded set of top-level index pages.
There's also hardly any point having hundreds of sub-forums unless you have hundreds of thousands of users. You just end up with dozens of empty spaces. Better to just keep dedicated threads running within country-level forums on particular regions, for example, than to split every country up like that into smaller and smaller forums, IMHo.
But I like the visual aspects of the design. Very friendly colours, quite a clean and modern look.

Yeah, sites like this with 200+ forum categories usually die pretty quickly because they're toooo complex, and users see that half the forums are BARE and leave.
But i love the design.

PunBB is very nicely integrated into their site design, with a nice clean, light grey/shadowed metallic colour scheme, and they have also simplified the Pun interface a useful amount too.
Alas on IE6 it is a bit of a mess - eg the navigation menu goes completely wonky and some of the CSS backgrounding in viewtopic.php dont work right - but on FF the whole interface works nicely. The interface is also a bit slow since their pages load up about 1 tonne of jscripts and other crap.

You should have a look at it using IE6 sometime. While it looks great in Opera, Firefox etc, it is a real dogs breakfast in IE6. What a mess. Mainly due to IE PNG non-transparency issues I suspect but perhaps also some bad CSS or JS. The top ad bar has gone completely wonky and the ads literally sit on top of the site logo and the left half of the menu. And the text in the 'Staff Contact Us Powered by PunBB RSS' section is showing up as white on white invisible. And the image background has broken up all over the place too. Etc. Pass it on.
