I don’t know why anyone would consider Oracle, except in specific circumstances. I’ve found SQL Server to be far more nimble and dependable for projects in the multi-million record range. I own/run a bunch of database-driven web sites and would have to agree with you, especially for something as simple as a forum.
Also, speaking of forums, FR needs a serious functional upgrade to include such standard features as post formatting, editing, object insertion, emoticons, etc. These are basic capabilities that are extremely easy to implement.

Because it takes a little work to format a post here, you don't see posts full of clutter and pointless eye candy (Emoticons? Give me a break....)
Text is king here, and I like it that way.

Keep it simple, a lot of freepers are still on dial up. HTML rules. KISS-Keep it simple stupid. Open source rules.
As far as donations, a lot of people are to paranoid to donate. I would suggest a way of donating without revealing your identity, untraceable. The way I do it is with unsigned money orders. Call me paranoid.

The last thing FR needs is bouncing smilies.
A link to an HTML toolbar might be something of interest to some. You can do all the formatting you want with HTML here.
Content is king over formatting for me.
