squishyFORUMS reaches Version 3.0, with new features coming at a steady pace.


squishyFORUMS is released under an open source license on sourceforge and freely available to download, use and extend.
 
introduction
Some say necessity is the mother of invention. Well, they're wrong. The lack of quality free software is the mother of invention.

Sure, there's tons of free forum software out there. But they all suck. Sure, you can tweak the colors and stuff, and even write your own "hacks" for some of them, but when it comes down to it, they all look and act the same.

squishyFORUMS is different. squishyFORUMS is written in C# using Microsoft's new .NET framework. It is a completely object oriented class library (API), which can be used from ANY type of application (web application, web service, console application, or even a windows application), for any type of 3-level application you can think of. It supports Bulletin Boards, eZines, Weblogs, and any sort of application where you need a set of top-level data controlled by administrators, a middle level of data controlled by registered users (in a bulletin board or eZine, this would be by site admins only, whereas in a bulletin board it would be any registered user), and a bottom level of messages entered by registered users.
