=================================
I left out some of the Nuke questions because I answered them in the phpBB section.
Overall, you should go with whatever you need. If you need only a forum and have your own site, then go with a stand-alone phpBB. If you need to create a complete site with forums, go with PHPNuke with embedded phpBB forums. If you don't need forums, but need a site, go with PHPNuke alone.
