This! The VAXbb project. Well, "project" is kind of overly grand. Let's go with "program." VAXbb is a fast, text-only bulletin board for use on the Web. It's written in PERL, and runs on UNIX boxen (though an NT port should be possible, just not a high priority right now). Its functionality and use is based loosely on a VAX-terminal-based bb system that I used in school
I noticed some typos in permission names implemented in 2.12 that denied access to the forum and category management sections. Although a tiny update, it was annoying enough that I've gone ahead and released version 2.13. The full version is available in the "Downloads" section of course. If you only want the files that have been changed between versions, you can get the "patch" instead.
pureBB requires the DateTime perl module. This module is packaged with pureBB, however, there are sometimes some problems with Perl recognizing the DateTime module like this. If you cannot get the board to work, make sure that DateTime is installed and recognized. Contact your system administrator to make sure that it is.
