mm ok, i'm in the process of trying to make my very own forum...i already made the login script and how to make users and etc with a walkthrough, so now it comes time for the actual forum...im guessing that forums work by storing themselves in a mysql database. sooo....how would i organize the database? Right now, i have a database called forum, with a table called users, and thats it. could anyone help me organize this? (i haven't actually made any scripts yet...i needta get this mysql part done first..)

forum
users
data data
data data
data data


so thats what i have..

take a look at the tables phpbb creates, for the most part, they have those down pretty well..
