The AnoBBS is a 3DES-encrypted bulletin board with some nice addon functionality. It runs with Ajax and PHP, and uses XML for storage.
This is not an ordinary BBS, so if your needs are more in the line of community building with thousands of users, you might want to try another software. A AnoBBS forum is intended for a small group who wish to communicate in private, having in common knowledge the code phrase needed to both find the BBS and decrypt the bulletin board messages. The AnoBBS scripts will provide a platform where such forums can be easily created by entering the code phrase only, which works both as encryption key and query id thanks to some clever use of hashing (md5).
A BBS is created in seconds, and will provide a user friendly interface for debate, with several skins to choose from. The BBS has most standard functionality like moderation, admin section, thread starting and replying. It is possible to save each thread or even the whole BBS as a single html file for email sending, archive etc. All human understandable content is encrypted by each client and decrypted by each client, the server does the storage only. Read more about the features in the AnoBBS release article.
