@hollystyles: I told him that already but I'm not so sure he gets it.

@titaniumdecoy: good idea, mine doesn't have a license it's just grab it and use it.

Therefore, GrimBB. However, this is a PHP forum not a Python forum, but it is a backend. Now please people let this thread die. And so help me if you PM me with a question Panarchy.

May you live forever Panarchy. ::points with spear::

Better yet, announce your awesome project and all the plans you have for it, get a Sourceforge page for it, recruit some coders, and by next week, you'll have the best forum software EVER!

My ISP offered a CGI based forum included with my free webspace, it was really basic but that was exactly what you describe. To make use of it I had to create the HTML pages there was only three I think: A thread view, a posts view and a thanks for posting page. I think it was called zist or something.

I had a quick search for CGI based forum script, didn't turn up much but maybe you can have better luck with a bit more time.

If you remember exactly what it is called, please tell me!

thanks in advance,

Panarchy

Hmm... sounds good, I will research it!

I programmed a forum in Python using the web-development framework CherryPy. It was really simple; took maybe one day, and not too many lines of code. But I wouldn't give it away. Especially since it's currently integrated with some pretty expensive code of mine.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

^Hmm... okay... thanks... looks pretty interesting!

Can you show me what your forum looks like?

Link please!

(It will be very good for research, too see how it runs compared to other forums [most are java])

Sorry, my webserver's been offline for at least a year. :/ Couldn't show ya. But it looked almost identical to the old PFO, if you remember that. The page generation times were usually less than 0.1s too.

Wow... that's quick!

Are you sure you're not willing to share the code with me?

I won't host it onto any public servers.

I won't claim that it is my own work.

I just want to edit the design of it... that's my IST project!

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

This thread makes me giggle.

Keep digging away Panarchy. I think you're almost there.
