Considering phpbb instead of fireboard

I have used Fireboard in the past because it installed automatically through Joomla.
But I am tempted to expand my horizons because of the phpbb3 template club.
Is this the basic process:
1) Install phpbb in a folder next to my site ( www.mysite.com/forum )
2) Style it with a template from the template club.
Do I necessarily have to fuss with a bridge? - Kathy

You don't have to use the bridge but if you don't and have a login for Joomla, users will have to login to each separately. - Thanks,

Thanks JEM....I am not authorized to view the last two links...maybe you have to already be a member of the phpBB3 template club to access those?
I read the RokBridge stuff earlier.
Thank you for clarifying that I wouldn't necessarily need that if I don't have a user login for Joomla.

Yes, you have to be a member to view those links.
If your Joomla site doesn't require a login, you won't need the bridge, if it does, the bridge is a nice feature to add.
Cheers! - Thanks,
jim
