Would you use....

I'm developing a bulletin board implement for PHP-powered communities. What it is, essentially, is a forum. It's not as bloated as vBulletin, phpBB, IPB, SMF, etc, and is built to install into an already existing site/community.

For example, you just custom-coded a simple but rather popular PHP site. Members sign up, login, and use your features. But you want a place for them to talk, yet you don't want them to register twice.

This is where my system comes into play: you install it (fast!) and it integrates into your custom system, and (should) works with nearly anything. People then just verify their username & pwd before they use the forums, and it's only one registration for great forum software.

Free too.

Would people find it useful? Would you - or webmasters in general - use it? Find it handy? It's much easier than trying to coordinate two separate databases (like I did on one site... my, what a pain!)

.chulium.

Yep, I'm already looking for something like this. If you do happen to make it, I believe it'll be used by many people. However, because it might lack features in comparison to vbulletin, many users will be put off with the forum.

Nevertheless, Good idea.

Hi there,

When/if you finish making it please announce it and I will try it out for you. Good luck hope it goes really well. Why don't you make it an open-source project could go big like FireFox did.

Regards,
Kieran Taylor.
