not to intentionally avoid directly answering your question... but, it seems to me that you wouldn't necessarily want to read a tutorial on making an entire message board. first off, there are several major aspects to it (user authentication, message branching, etc) that the tutorial could likely get a bit overwhelming. Since you are looking to write a MB versus use an existing one, then i assume you are (or at least want to be) somewhat proficient with PHP. Might i suggest you first learn about the aspects of a MB. once you understand what goes into one, it's not that hard to sketch out a little diagram of how you want yours to work. if you take it little by little and use good coding techniques (ie, abstraction), then the task won't be quite so daunting.

but to answer your question... no, i've never seen one.
