v1.5 beta 13b UPDATED Oct 25 2002
Updates since b13 release
Aside from bug fixes, releases will be on hiatus for the next few months,
as 1.5 final is prepared.
Finally, ASP users have a choice! A free, fully featured message board!
MegaBBS embodies the bulk of our efforts. Our forum software has grown into a very competitive message forum, comparative to other high quality PERL/PHP systems. It is fully featured and easy to implement. Current uses of MegaBBS include corporate intranets, commercial websites, personal use, and universities! It supports MS-Access and SQL Server and can be setup and running in a matter of minutes.
Unix systems have had great choices in message forum software for years, but until recently, ASP users have been limited to a small handful of quality ASP message boards. Finally MegaBBS combines the powerful features of PHP boards, along with the ease of programmability and installation of ASP! Although MegaBBS has only been publicly released since late June 2002, it has already gained a great following of other users and developers!

For Administrators
Each forum and calendar can have a completely different setup involving moderators, restricted users, and posting restrictions!
Ban by IP, ban by e-mail, restrict unregistered posting, require new accounts to be authorized, and more.
Extensive administrative menus. Nearly every aspect of the forum is configurable from a web-based screen. There's no need to edit the source files by hand!
Database upgrade script - We aren't afraid to upgrade the database to take advantage of new features, and neither should you! We have spent a huge amount of effort designing a unique upgrade script which makes upgrading extremely painless. Every version of MegaBBS comes with a database upgrade script for automatically updating your database to the newest version. You will never need to open the database and manually edit it, like with some forums. How many other major ASP forums have this essential feature?
Most features can be enabled or disabled by the administrator. Ideal for customizing the forum to run in environments ranging to a professional corporate intranet, to a hobbyist gaming site.
For Developers
The code is fairly easy to read and modify. Functions are stored in a central API. The software was designed by a professional programmer to be easily modifiable and modular. (Although it isn't perfect by any means, we're working on it )
Original code - The developer and users take extraordinary pride in their software.
Robust & secure - Extensive internal error checking. All user input is verified to prevent form spoofing.
The easy to use API lets you create a "news script" with only 10-15 lines of code (sample code supplied). There are many unique addons that are normally "separate" from a forum, while duplicating many features. Many of these things are built directly into MegaBBS. MegaBBS is not just a message forum software, it's community features and user security groups can easily be integrated across your entire website.
A growing community of pre-built MODs fill the 'last gap' between simple forum, and complete web portal, in case you don't feel like learning how to use the API. (It really isn't that hard though)
We hate bugs as much as you. They are squished mercilessly and swiftly, usually within a couple hours.
Some message boards cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, MegaBBS is completely free. Sometimes, what you pay for is not proportional to what you get.
