FUDforum - Open Source Web Discussion Board

FUDforum is highly flexible and robust web discussion board based on the PHP scripting language. The forum can be run and installed, using the forum's installation wizard on virtually any platform and just as easily upgraded to the latest release using the one step upgrade wizard. The forum has virtually no dependencies other then PHP and a database system such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. All of the forum's components such as templating engine, database abstraction layer, cookie and URL session system, SMTP e-mail system, etc... have been designed in-house and were specifically tailored for optimal performance.
