Lunarpages phpBB forum Hosting Review
phpBB software
phpbb (PHP bulletin board) is a popular internet forum software written in PHP web programming language, open-source and free licensed under GNU GPL license. Uses MySQL or other database system(MS SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and others). With phpbb you can create online community where users can register and post threads/posts in forums. Subforums are also supported and there is a powerful permissions system for users/usergroups, moderators, administrators. The look of the forum can easily be changed with style manager (there are tons of free templates available for phpbb). New features can be added by simply downloading mods(modifications) and installing them into your phpbb forum. For preventing auto registrations there is a captcha (optional) visual confirmation code. There are many other features included: categories, acls (access control lists), bans, email confirmation etc etc. Check the folllowing page for list of phpbb features: http://www.phpbb.com/about/features/ .
