SimpleForum needs to be, as the name suggests, a forum that is simple and easy to use to both end-user and administrators.
Please note this project is still very young and I wouldn't even class it as alpha.

So, you need to setup a new forum for your website or a business - what instantly pops into your head; vBulletin? phpBB maybe? Or even Invision Board? Yeah, they're all PHP based. SimpleForum aims to be
the vBulletin, phpBB and Invision Board of the ASP.NET world. View the
