    There are a lot of forums on the web that allow guest posting. Searching is needed to find them, but they definitely are out there. What do you want them for? Hopefully not spamming?

    What I meant is there a forum script that has the ability to allow guest users to post & create threads. I just need a simple forum script

    You would need to ask in the BST. But I don't know, really. If you are looking to do this then I am guessing it would need some kind of server-side editing, unless you want to use a program which forum spammers use to spam out their messages? But then again, spamming is illegal, you know?

    Ah right. Got that now, you need to be a little bit more clear in future though as I thought you wanted a script which would allow you to post in others' forums as a guest. What software are you using for your forum, so I can help you enable guest posting? (phpBB, MyBB, SMF, vBulletin, IPB?)

    I suggest you to go for mybb in which you can allow guest users to make posts by setting permission.

    Well ANY forum software can allow permissions for guests or not logged in members to post. You just have to change the permissions in the Admin CP.
