About MyBB
MyBB is PHP forum software for building and running online community discussion boards. It supports discussions, user engagement features, private messaging between registered users, and moderation tools for staff. The homepage describes the software as free and open source, but the directory record does not confirm open-source status, so check the project's license before relying on that description.
The homepage highlights an extension system with plugins and themes, a built-in template and theme editor for changing forum design, and community-maintained translations in more than 30 languages. The homepage also describes the software as efficient, but it gives no performance measurements. Pricing is not stated in the source material.
