I think the many of the first time users will not see this thread unless they're used to forums since earlier, but I suppose people from before the FH+ release can just assume at this moment.
In theory FH+ should be easier to get running since you don't need to patch it, and it should also be the version with more appeal. However, it does come with a few glitches that regular FH actually doesn't have. At current date FH is still the more popular place out of the two it seems.
