The forum by definition is a public meeting or assembly for open discussion. Online forum which is also known as Bulletin Board, Discussion Group, Newsgroup is a must for any business online. The applications which are making it happen are:-


  1. PhpBB : Hedir is also using it, the leading open source application, a big community which is adding helpful mods making it the leader and first choice for any webmaster.
    Language: PHP
    Database Support: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, MS Access
    Modifications/Styles Available: Hundreds


  2. vBulletin: Free and open source by Jelsoft.
    Language: PHP
    Database Support: MySQL
    Modifications/Styles Available: Many


  3. Invisionboard : I have its free versions but now I am not sure whether is a free one or not. I liked it as it has many attractive features with a powerful admin section.
    Language: PHP
    Database Support: MySQL
    Modifications/Styles Available: Hundreds


  4. Web Wiz Forums : the free award winning ASP bulletin board system software
    Language: ASP
    Database Support: MS Access, MSSQL
    Modifications/Styles Available: Small number of styles or modifications available


  5. IkonBoard : With well over 1 million active boards operating across the web and over 50,000 downloads in the past few months, Ikonboard is truly one of the most popular systems available.
    Language: CGI
    Database Support: DMB, PostgreSQL, MySQL
    Modifications/Styles Available: Many skins and modifications freely available


  6. Snitz: The Snitz Forums 2000 Community is an ever growing group of developers and friends.
    Language: ASP
    Database Support: MS Access, MSSQL, MySQL
    Modifications/Styles Available: No styling features, few modifications


There are many others like miniBB, JiveForums but not as famous as the above listed. Your contribution will be appreciated and will append this list.

Thanks

Ever heard of Community Server?

My hosting company offers this. I believe for free. I've considered looking into it. It'd be interesting to hear any experiences.

Do you mean ASP, some are Application Service Provider. Their job is to provide application, they main the code, you get the application without much trouble.

Its nice to get such things for free but nothing in this world is a free lunch, their is always a hidden profit.

It is written in ASP.net and runs on MS SQL. Both being my flavor of programming. They have a free comunity licence and a paid commercial licence. Nice way to start if you don't know what you are doing. Only buy it if it works for you.

However if it poorly written it would still not be worth the effort. This is there site.

sorry misunderstood you previous post, one general problem of using similar kind of abbrevation Smile.

I am not very much into ASP, so missed this.

I found one more forum script used by http://www.phparch.com , it is known as FUD Forum ( http://fudforum.org ). I haven't explored the code , user experience is no different from other forum scripts like phpbb or invision.
