my little forum is a simple PHP and MySQL based web-forum that displays the messages in classical threaded view. It’s Open Source licensed under the GNU General Public License. The main claim of this forum script is simplicity. Furthermore the script should be easy to install and run on a standard server configuration with PHP and MySQL.

The latest version can be downloaded on the Project home page. All available files on SourceForge.net.

• Usenet like threaded tree structure of the messages
• different views of the threads possible (classical, in table, collapsed)
• Categories and tags
• BB codes and smilies
• Image upload
• Avatars
• RSS Feeds
• Template engine (Smarty)
• UTF-8 support
• Different methods of spam protection (can be combined: graphical/mathematical CAPTCHA, Wordfilter, IP filter, Akismet, Bad-Behavior)

my little forum is no common bulletin board! Basic differences to common bulletin boards are:

• The messages are displayed in a threaded tree structure (even though there are different ways to display the messages - bulletin board like as well).
• On the main page all current threads are displayed directly (no clicking through sub-forums necessary; selecting single categories possible).

These features are advantageous for more serious or technical discussions where the relationship between the messages is important (who replied to whom). In many cases, however, bulletin boards with linear and flat threaded display of messages are more popular.
