WebBBS - Web-based Bulletin Board.

WebBBS is a Web-based bulletin board. Unlike most other such boards, though, WebBBS stores messages as simple text files and creates HTML pages "on the fly." This means that the message index can be tailored by the user based on date and/or subject (via built-in keyword search capability), and can be viewed as threaded, chronological or "guestbook-style" lists. A wide variety of options are available both to the administrator and to the users, and "behind-the scenes" administrative tasks (editing and deleting of messages, etc.) are a breeze! WebBBS supports automatic quoting of message text and e-mail notification of those who want to know immediately when a new message has been posted. It also offers an archive-only option, the ability to run moderated boards, and "cookie" support!

The Forums

The Forums is an easily customized bulletin board style message system. It features several popular functions, such as a stout and robust directory system to keep all your messages organized in the best way. It also features private messages, sent as "pages" from user to user. Also included is a nicely laid out administration control panel featuring several ways you can customize and control your forums. Featuring a modified version of BBCode called CCCode, your users can add HTML-like additions to their messages for formatting and linking and such with ease. Also included is the ability to set up SubOps, so you can let your users take control of their directories and distribute the labor, so they can have a sense of ownership and you don't have to spend all your time maintaining their directories. You will also find several statistics are at your fingertips, so you can keep an eye on just what's happening with your forums.
Free setup and support for not-for-profit groups and organizations as well as community and civic groups is now available.
