About phpBB
phpBB is a free, open-source bulletin board written in PHP. It is one of the most widely used forum packages on the web, letting you host structured discussions with user accounts, forums, and threaded posts on your own server instead of a hosted service.
The bulletin board model organizes conversation into forums and topics, where registered members read and reply to posts. Because it is self-hosted PHP, a board runs on common LAMP-style hosting and the data stays under your control.
phpBB has been developed in the open for many years and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2. Builds and support live on phpBB.com, while development is discussed on the project's area51 site.
