Conclusion

FUDForum is a classic and good forum software, which provide many features by default.

Its installation system could be strange (one install.php script, which contains an archive of the FUDForum needed file), but works very well. It can just be difficult to update the forum. You will also need to make a copy of your configuration file if you want to install it on a Windows platform (FUDForum needs symbolic links).

However, once FUDForum is installed, you can really do want you want with it. Administration panel and configuration parameters are huge, but you can easily found what you are looking for.

Syndication, private messaging, moderation and FAST Template using make this forum software as good as the standard and old PhpBB 2, so do not hesitate to use it for your community!

"You will also need to make a copy of your configuration file if you want to install it on a Windows platform (FUDForum needs symbolic links)."

This statement is inaccurate: sysmlinks are not required at all! FUDforum will only use symlinks on Lunux/Unix platforms and only if it isn't disabled by the host.
