PunBB (''PunBulletinBoard'') is a lightweight PHP-based internet discussion board system. It is released under the GNU General Public License. The project's primary goal is to be a faster, smaller and less graphic alternative to discussion boards such as phpBB, Invision Power Board or vBulletin.〔(Ohloh Analysis )〕〔('Best free open-source forum application software' on ceoworld.biz )〕〔(About PunBB )〕 Many open-source and commercial projects' discussion boards use PunBB.〔(Who uses PunBB )〕〔(Nevercorner Forum )〕〔(ForexSB Forum )〕〔(Musikcube )〕 Until September 2011, Facebook's Developers were using Facebook Developer's Forum for discussions and bug reports, which was powered by PunBB.〔(Facebook Developers' Forum )〕 PunBB was originally designed to output standard XHTML, and with speed and simplicity in mind. Features such as private messaging, polls and file attachments were not originally implemented. However, they have since been released as third-party modifications. PunBB supports extensions since version 1.3.〔(History of PunBB project )〕 ==History== PunBB was founded by Rickard Andersson as a personal project to create an alternative to either over-featured or too graphic discussion boards. In August 2003, version 1.0 was released under the GNU General Public License. The developer released version 1.2 in January 2005 and immediately began work on version 1.3. PunBB was originally known simply as Pun because "a pun is a play on words and that's basically what happens on a bulletin board". The ''BB'' addition stands for ''bulletin board''. PunBB is available in many languages, including: Spanish, Russian, Italian, and many other languages. Languages are created by contributors of the project, languages are not officially made by PunBB. However, they are supported. In 2007 the project's code and rights were sold to Informer Technologies, Inc. The company did not institute any major changes at first other than removing the ability to donate money to the project. The work on version 1.3 continued and in the beginning of 2008 the beta version was released. In April 2008, Rickard Andersson decided to leave the project due to personal reasons.〔(Rickard Andersson's official website )〕 As a result, some developers followed suit, and initiated the development of their own fork, known as FluxBB. A few days later the company moved the project from punbb.org domain to its projects' umbrella domain at punbb.informer.com. The work on version 1.3 was resumed and minor changes, as well as, some bug fixes were introduced in updates. In March 2011 the company released version 1.3.5 and in September 2011 version 1.3.6 became available to public. The third quarter of 2011 gave birth to a significantly revised version of the engine, 1.4.0, which was the latest one at the time.〔(PunBB Homepage )〕 In February 2012, PunBB released version 1.4.2 In June 2015, after 3 years of the last version released in 2012, PunBB has released the 1.4.3. version.〔(PunBB Thread of 1.4.3. version )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「PunBB」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
