I was just wondering where I could find a single-forum message board software. I'm starting to not like having multiple forums.

Here's a few (I'll edit as I find):

http://www.phpjunkyard.com/mboard/mboard.php
http://soft.zoneo.net/freeForum/ (Looks pretty good)
http://www.monstar.nl/php/
http://www.gerd-tentler.de/tools/forum/
http://mylittleforum.net/
http://forum.phatcode.net/


Looks like I answered myself, don't delete this though. Other people may want to check these out.

To be honest, I don't really like such scripts. Sometimes they seem to be a bit confusing. Maybe that is because I am not used to them.

Thanks for the above list though. It may come in handy for me in the future, even though I dislike using them. ;)

I liked mylittleforum the best IMO. Why? Well, it has a pretty Interface and skin system. Plus, it has anti-spam methods (One of which doesn't work on the registration page.) It also can integrate with Bad Behavior.

I don't know as much PHP as you might think, nor will I even try to do it. Why? I'm having to "try" college more and am in Liberal Arts, not programming.

http://www.phpjunkyard.com/mboard/mboard.php tends to buggy, based on my past experience. Maybe those problems have been corrected now, though. Interface-wise, though, it is my favorite! :)

Vanilla
http://getvanilla.com/
Demo: http://lussumo.com/community/

It's a single forum style script. However it uses categories to manage the threads. Everything is listed in a single forum style though. No stupid navigations to get to the threads.

PhatCode link needs updating: http://www.phatcode.net/downloads.php?id=156

(No longer can edit this old post)

Edit 2: mylittleforum acts similar to vanilla. Categories with dropdown navigation.

i am working on writing my own forum system that works like this (one forum only, the index page is a listing of topics)

but the topic listing will look more like vbulletins topic listing

+1 for Vanilla. Sexy style, works a treat, mods are installed like you would on WordPress.
