Noticed this while digging for stories. Fairly nice layout, some nice stuff.

Does it seem like useBB is a fork of phpBB, or is it just me? Has anyone here used it for anything yet?

No, they just focused on having a very similar interface, to ease transition, which is what caught my eye.

Notice that they do not have private messaging as a feature yet, no subforums, and so forth. If it is a phpbb fork, it strays far from the original.

You're right. I registered at their forum yesterday and toyed around with it. It is actually pretty clean. It is very fast. It doesn't have all the functionality of phpBB (like you said, no PM, no PHP code button though they do have a code button) but for the most part it appears to be an easy to use, lightweight forum app. I might just download it and install it locally to play with it and peak into the codebase.

Greetings,

I'm the developer of UseBB. As said, UseBB is not a clone or fork of any bulletin board package. Myself, I've been working on it since 2003 and was insipred by various packages such as YaBB SE/SMF and W-Agora.

I'm glad to see people like it. If you have any remarks, ideas, suggestions, feel free to report them. Especially as the work on 2.0 has started.

Regards
