UseBB

UseBB is an open source internet forum system written in the PHP 4 scripting language and using the database management system MySQL to store dynamic content. UseBB 1.x tends to be a light forum system for small to medium sized website. It is being distributed under the GPL. At this moment, UseBB is still Beta version.

= History =

The UseBB project was founded on October 22 2003 by Dietrich Moerman. Ever since, it is registered on SourceForge.net. UseBB originates from the idea to build a single forum software solution called SBBS (Simple Bulletin Board System). It was decided to restart from scratch and to find a new name. The UseBB name was inspired by Usenet, however it also means The Usable Forum Software .

= Future plans =

Once UseBB 1.0 is released, the team tends to start the development of UseBB 2 which will be written in PHP 5 and should have greater functionality than UseBB 1.x. Probably, only bugfix releases will be made of UseBB 1.x once UseBB 2 is released.
