are their any forums that use flat file databases? (ex .txt files)

YaBB uses a flat-file database, but it stores it in the perl files.

you could write your own without cgi or php... or mabey a little php

just have a form and when they submit the form it goes to a .txt file and then call the txt file with ssi, a lil harder then that because you have to make templates ext...

if you worked harder you could use .htaccess or something for you users... heres an example

a user signs up and it posts the name / pass to .htaccess
a user puts in their name / pass and it recalls it in the .htaccess


might work, dunno
