• Misago

  5 2,470 8.7 Python

  Misago is fully featured modern forum application that is fast, scalable and responsive.

I would like to use this opportunity to also mention about a forum software I am building, Misago: https://misago-project.org/

Around year ago I've started to aggressively pursue improvements to it's UX and featureset which to my surprise resulted in project getting new (small) wave of attention and a lot of great feedback on what else is missing and what needs changed that I am working on at.

I've grown on old school forums, phpBB2, Invision Power Board 2.3, vBulletin 3 and I am trying to hit a sweet spot between old and new, taking inspiration from both other modern solutions like Discourse or Flarum, but also from latest versions of XenForo and Invision Community.

• MyBB

  15 1,028 7.9 PHP

  MyBB is a free and open source forum software.

  

I actually recommend myBB [0] over phpBB for anyone looking to set up a LAMP forum. It's cleaner, better written, and possibly better maintained and with a much less scary vulnerability history. I believe it started off as an attempt to create an OSS version of IPB (or was it vB?).

• Flarum

  59 14,904 2.8 PHP

  Simple forum software for building great communities.

  

The old PhpBB/VBulletin format has a certain familiar charm to it, but I find it hard to go back after using modern forum systems like Discourse that fix a lot of the old system's UX shortcomings.

Anyone have experience with Flarum (https://flarum.org)? I've been peripherally aware of it for years (it it looks like it's still quite active on GitHub) and it looks like a nice lighter-weight alternative to Discourse which I know gets some flak for being resource-heavy.
