I'd like to have as simple discussion board as the classic wwwboard but in php.
Basically only one area where to discuss. Lightweight. Must run with monkey + php. NoSQL req.
< phantasy-star.net > had such board once...

I've heard good things about PunBB, although I have no experience with it.
< http://www.punbb.org/ >
It requires a database, but sqlite will work

Heh, I did set up a test forum that used PunBB that never went public, but from that experience I can tell you that the setup was very quick and easy, pretty secure (or so I hear), and that the interface was simple but easy to navigate. The installation itself was compact enough, but I don't know how it holds on the db side. If you want heavy modifications by downloading extensions or the like, this one might not be for you though.

Best I could find was this: < http://www.frank-karau.de/php_forum_script >

But it's not like the old wwwboard. ;(

Why I'm searching such lightweight and simple forum is because I'd like to add to it to my DSL server project.

Aaaaand. I've found it!

It's named as MBoard and < here's > ans example of it.

It was JUST what I was looking for. I suggest this to everyone else who are looking simple, lightweight php messageboard without any database reqs.
