MyBB is an open source, free, and powerful forum software that is designed to be used by both experienced and inexperienced users. It is written in PHP and uses a MySQL database for data storage. It offers a wide range of features including user registration, user profiles, private messaging, usergroup management, online polls, search engine optimization, and more. MyBB is designed to be user friendly and easy to customize, making it ideal for developers, bloggers, and webmasters. With its intuitive and flexible user interface, MyBB offers a powerful platform to create and manage an online community. Additionally, MyBB is highly extensible and provides a wide range of plugins and themes to customize the look and feel of the forum.
Even with early development, the limited features in comparison and the forum structure/design are quite different from traditional ones. Good default features, but not the same methodologies for those comfortable with traditional discussion forums.
