UseBB

UseBBUseBB is a relatively new open source forum package written in PHP with a MySQL backend. The project has existed since October 2003 and is now slowly getting bigger. The UseBB developers have focused on ease-of-use, speed and security. UseBB can be used for several applications, such as a point of meeting for user groups, as a system to provide help and support or for more complex tasks. Distributed as open source software, there are almost no limitations on distribution and usage of UseBB.
