Thread: PunBB sites?

  1. #1

    PunBB sites?

    Does anyone know of some well designed sites using PunBB? There are probably millions of sites running all kinds of cool templates using VB, but all I see with PunBB is the basic template.

    I know I know...you're going to say why not VB? I like VB or what I've seen of it, but I just don't have the money to spend right now on the license. Maybe some day..

    http://www.punres.org/ has some styling resources.

    PunBB is really nice. I've been very pleased with it (as someone who has used vB, phpBB, and SMF as well). If all you need is something lightweight, it's great. Light on moderation abilities, and takes some hacks to give it things like PM capability... but it actually scales pretty well.

    Check out http://punbbig.shacknet.nu/ (which is actually down as I write this)... it lists the largest PunBB installations out there in terms of users and posts.

    One of the nicer ones: http://www.macaddict.com/forums/

    And here is a rather simply skinned installation I have running: http://forums.awscms.com/index.php

    Thanks! A couple very nice looking sites there. Yeah the one was still down, but I'll try to view it later.

    Did you develop the AWS CMS?

    Yes, and no. I own it, but I have a programmer (co-owner). So I didn't personally develop it.
