New Bulletin Board Script Developing! ImpBB

Hey guys,

I am currently in development stage of a new Forum/Discussion Board software.

Project Info:

Name: ImpBB (No reason, just my name + bb)
Demo: http://www.impbb.com/forums
Base: PunBB (Very fast and efficient)
Current Status: Development (Beta 1)

I have a good amount of experience in php and mysql.

The reason i am posting on DP is because i am interested to know if anyone with knowledge of: php, mysql, or css would like to help. I am currently the only one developing this and if i could assemble a team, it would be more efficient.

Thanks!

Pm or post if you are interested.

 

Anyone interested in helping? You will gain mod status on forums, get dev team rank, and maybe paid xD

 

I just got a good question. I though it would be helpful to post it:

Hi impulse8

I'd be interested in testing this script and doing some minor cosmetic enhancements via css. I have a very small forum currently up and running using SMF: http://www.fyiforum.com . . . traffic is light in my forum amongst a few web clients and friends, it would be a good testing ground for the script.

 

Sure Gomeza. Thanks for your post. Here is the script download:

Installation is rather easy and if you ever create any skins/styles, feel free to bring them to impbb.com for recognition.

 

You don't seem to have changed much of the PunBB code besides adding a few tabs here and there.

 

Yeah, its still in development. Im changing the default skin first. I fixed a problem in the install.php. Punbb isnt exactly updating their software anymore.

 

hi, what are the addons feature from punbb?

 

Punbb currently does not have any addons for it. I am developping a few though. They don't even have private messaging which will be my first addition.

 

I have a new software developer.

 

looks like punbb

 

Yeah. New skin coming out though.

 

Punbb is pretty much discontinued anyways.

 

Will there be any legal agreement. How can we trust you? Lets say I help and then you decide to kick me out?

Are you willing to sign an agreement of some sort?

Peace,

 

Yeah. Its open source anyways. And if i mod you and we get users, they will obviously trust you too and why would i kick you off if you are trying to help me.

 

If it will be opensource? what about the licenses then? and maby i'm instrested by helping, but need to know first the guideline, documentation about what makes the forum differend ot other forums..

Small and handy?
One file forum?

 

something is wrong with the link you gave

 

It is open source with the open source license (GUI). Its different because it is light yet high secure for free.

The link works fine for me...

 

Do you mean GPL by any chance?

 

My fault. I got it mixed up with something else. GPL
