Free and open source forum software written in PHP

phpBB, short for PHP Bulletin Board, is a forum software package written in PHP and available under the GNU General Public License.

It was created by James Atkinson in June 2000 as a UBB-like solution for his wife. The development team was soon joined by Nathan Codding and John Abela after phpBB's CVS repository moved to SourceForge.net. The pre-release version of phpBB was available the following July.
