BurningBoard
You are looking for a modern, professional and easy-to-use forum system? Look no further! Burning Board offers all features you can expect from a professional discussion board, packed in a beautiful CSS-based design. It is highly optimized to run fast on a MySQL database and its clean and object-oriented programming is highly reliable – thanks to German engineering. It is build on top of the WoltLab Community Framework so it is really just one mouse click away to extend it by add-ons (such as galleries, blogs or other social networking tools). It has never been so easy to install a web app: Simply upload 2 files and let guide you through installation process. The software can be used with different languages: GUI translations for more than five languages are already provided – more to come. Support is also included in the license fee, so you will never be left alone when you need some help. WoltLab provides data importing tools for all major discussion board solutions.
