[IxDA Discuss] Community Engine for Own Web Site?

[Palmer, Eric]

If you are interested in an open source portable forum platform check

Probably not as full featured as communityserver.org but also not .net
based and free.

I don't think that Internet Forums are dying but anyway, some time ago I
was looking for forums
packages and I found this to be very powerful on all senses...
http://communityserver.org/i/overview.aspx

Google this...
community forums software

...and you will many packages, many of those for free.

Good luck.
