Open Source Forum

Open Source Forum - what's it about?

An opensourceforum.com is a domain acquired for the next development of miniBB project, and is reserved for a sub-division of miniBB, which will include a complete Premium version of the software, coming at the regular one-time fee of lower than $100. Still, the package will be a complete Open Source with no editing limitations.

The concepts of OSF will differ from miniBB. We will avoid branding, and concentrate on coding things. The full package will include all add-ons created for miniBB, but in opposite to the miniBB Compiler, it will include everything-at-once, with the possibility to turn it off one-by-one using a visual interface.

Besides of the default miniBB add-ons, OSF is planned to include some exclusive stuff, never added to miniBB. Priorities are auto-upgrade and adding new add-ons via web, and visually configurable skins. OSF is planned to be newbies-friendly, with an option of having access to the straight code modifications and customizations for professionals.

While this domain comes up as a reserve for now, you can enjoy miniBB as it was and as it is, 'cause this project is not ended yet, and it always will be a base for the full package.

I just wanted to compliment you on what is probably the best message board I have seen yet. I'm not an advanced website designer, but I've been looking at different bulletin board options for a while, and finally decided to use miniBB. This is the most customizable, easy-to-use, easy to understand, and best administrator functions I've come accross yet. I love this thing. The scripting is great, takes up almost no space, and does everything I could possibly want. Just wanted to tell you guys what a great job you've done, and I will refer all who ask to your site for info. Great job! I'll keep an eye out for updates. Thanks for the great product!!!
