Creating a forum

Many of you have asked 'How do I create a forum on my website?'. Creating a forum is a big project, so it's best to install a product that already exists and to spend some time learning how to use it properly (forum creation, thread and user management...)

It's impossible to explain how to create a forum in just a few lines. Instead I'm going to present two solutions which already exist and have the added bonus of being free

phpBB
a very popular and comprehensive forum, it is widely used on many sites. Indeed it's the one used on salemioche.net (salemioche.net forum). To achieve this forum, phpBB, there is a french site for beginners phpBB fr. The main inconvenient of the wealth of functionalities offered by this forum is the necessity for considerable machine resources (mainly due to an intensive usage of the database)
phorum
simpler, quicker and consequently not as comprehensive, this will be a better solution when your site starts to have a lot of visitors: phorum

If you don't want to get into the installation, configuration and maintenance of a php forum, here is the ideal solution:
