ForkBB

[Ravenfreak]

While browsing the punBB support forums, I noticed one of the staff members there has been working on his own forum script called ForkBB. It seems to be based on punBB, that doesn't really surprise me since he also has been working on his own version of FluxBB which is also based on PunBB. Anyways I wondered if anyone here has heard of this software before or not. I'm thinking of installing it and seeing how well it functions. The author speaks Russian, so the entire support forum's index page is in Russian but he does try his best to answer questions in English. Here's the support forum:

Here's the github repository for the software, there's also a converter to move to ForkBB but it only works with punBB, FluxBB, and his version of FluxBB so you'd have to convert to one of those platforms first before converting to ForkBB.

ForkBB has 3 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

Looks like it's very actively developed. Sadly I don't understand one bit of it, lol.

When I go to that link half shows in English and half in Russian It does look nice though.

Yeah lots more Russian than English lol. Google translate does a decent enough job translating but meh. I still need to test the software out, definitely reminds me more of FluxBB with some extra bells and whistles. In fact ForkBB has a "best answer" feature which most free software doesn't even have as far as I'm aware.
