NewsPro gives you alot of functionality with the help of addons, you can create user groups, catagories, numerous templates based on the different catagories and a slew of other things. I created this mod for that reason something that SlashUBB cannot give you at least as of now. The mod I created also gives you the flexability of not creating a thread as well.
