Not to discourage you from starting an open source project, but there are
already several in the works. Allaire Forums was open sourced and can be
found at http://www.forumspot.org. There is also Simple Message Board, which
can be found at http://www.simplemessageboard.com/.
You may want to investigate these products and consider throwing your effort
at one of these products instead of starting a new one.

>From what I understand People are looking for a feature rich forum system
that is cheap and customizable. What about an Open Source Project. I am very
willing to contribute my time and effort as well as code that I have been
working on to create a free to use and modify Forum System. It seems to be
needed. I want to see how many people would be interested in working on such
a thing?

(she hesitates to post to this board....fear of igniting the flames of the
forum gods.....)
What about the bare-bones-bboard found on allaire.com/developer ? I know
it's not exactly feature rich, but as far as a simple threaded messageboard
is concerned, I've been able to integrate it fairly well for a couple of
different clients, massaging the look and feel as I see fit. You have to add
your own login capability if you need it, but it does send emails to the
person posting the message if they choose to receive notification.
It's small, open-source, and free!
There is always the option of writing it yourself....and webmonkey gives you
a tutorial on how if you need it....of course there's always that time issue
thing.... :-)
Cheers,
(did she get away unscathed....)

(Here I go again. ;p)
SMB has the option of viewing all threads in a tree-view or in a
thread-view. For example:
Like this:
http://www.simplemessageboard.com/demo/thread.cfm?TID=1030&Expand=NO
Or Like this:
http://www.simplemessageboard.com/demo/thread.cfm?TID=1030
> Simple Message Board - http://www.simplemessageboard.com/
> Price: Free?
Yes. Free. GNU Public License.

Thanks you. ;p
> Cons: One man operation; Still in pre-release stages
True enough. The current release is functional except for the lack of some
adminstration function.
I've gotten some help on both a version that runs on CFExpress as well as
changes for MySQL... (Linux hooray!)
