I know there are lots of forum applications out there but I would still like to write one. I have looked at phpbb and some out it seems a little over kill. They store every little thing in the database including Style Sheet values. That's over kill to me but what do I know. :)
So here is my thought on the database schema. They core tables would be user, forum, topic, and post. Sound right? To make it even better I could add a table, banIP, that stores banned IP address. I could also add one more table, stylesheet, that would allow the admin to register style sheets and their css file. Then the admin could choose styles with a simple pull down. That gives me the tables user, forum, topic, post, banIP, stylesheet. How does that look for a better than basic forum?
