There's a lot of reasons *not* to start with a blank php and install your own mods. Here are a few to name:
1. You get almost zero support from phpbb if your forum is heavily modded. And obviously you wouldn't be getting any support here.
2. Upgrades. Your upgrading options consist of getting the code changes for each upgrade and HOPING that they match up. If they don't match up and you're not knowlegeable enough to make it work, again it is difficult to get support.
3. If you only wanted a few mods from E-Tegra removed, the time it would take to remove them would certainly be a lot shorter than it would take to start from scratch and add mods.
4. If you have existing members/posts, converting back to a stock phpbb only to add 75% of the mods integrmod already has would be a waste of time.
In closing, we actually have an IM-Lite but I think that the project was more trouble than it was worth because we have limited amount of devs on this project right now. E-Tegra-Lite is something I would like for us to start back up, so I was exploring ways in which we could make that happen.
As it lies right now, if I were to try to make an integrmod lite I would basically have to start back at an original PHPBB but that wasn't exactly the road I wanted to take.
