looks good, if you ever add an admin panel, id give it a try definately
The forum has an admin panel. Though most settings are controlled with one .php file.
wow, that is nice. I had not looked at it in too much detail. It really is SEO, It is very snappy.
I cant believe you used globals in functions. When I look at the code, I cant even believe how you ended up with a finished product, you must have an incredible memory.
you dont want to see my php mmporg then New Guy :P
There are just a few global vars. The lang array to hold all strings and 3 forum arrays. I tested if using a separate var for each text string would be faster than an array, but it turned out the array is faster. The bottleneck of the current version is the skinning. I get every template from a file and parse it to put all vars in in it. If I output directly the forum will twice faster but customizing will be a pain.Quote:

Heh, you crazy super-brilliant programmer people. Some day I hope to join the ranks--but probably just on the side :)
A few changes you could make, at your own discretion, to the page:
I think that brutal's a little too... brute of a word. Maybe blazing, or something that highlights the idea of speed better.Quote:
No bloat. No fancy features. Just brutal speed.
Hmmm many or much? I'm not clear on the proper usage of words around something like this.Quote:
Does not take too much server resources.
Are seperated.Quote:
PHP and HTML is separated for ultra easy customization.
Is flexible. Unless you're 100% positive it'll work with any design.Quote:
Can fit into your site design.
I kinda like the sound of "Protection against spam" better, take my opinion on this with a grain of salt, though.Quote:
Anti-spam protection. Admin can ban IP/IP ranges/Users/Emails.
cookie-based.Quote:
Search Engine Friendly: comes with Apache mod_rewrite support; cookie based sessions (no SessionIDs in the URLs)
I assume you're only supporting a single one at a time? If so then I think it's just 'pack'.Quote:
Multi-language packs support.
I'd say that you don't want to tie yourself down with the word "forever".Quote:
Forever 100% free for both personal and commercial use. All I ask is that you don't remove the copyright link from the main forum page.
(wow when making this post, I accidently deleted it in the morning, and just a few seconds ago. Thank Firefox for the undo button in text fields!)
tntcheats,
thanks for the English lesson. I'll be fixing these.
Agreed, be carefull with "Public" memberlist as it attracts lot's of spam.Quote:

it sounds to me like you are trying to get by on as little work as possible, trying to leave out tasks that you dont feel like undertaking.
I once developed my own message board software (non commercial) for a website of mine to allow perfect integration, but switched to vBulletin a month later.
There are so many features / usability options that you dont even realize and I dont think you can even begin to compete with vbulletin, phpbb, invisionboard, and ubb.
Also, programming it without the help of OOP will most likely cripple it in the future when you start pileing on more and more and more... it just will not be scalable enough.
Looks good to me... keep us updated on how it works..
