Testimonials

"Just a short thanks to all involved in developing Yabb. I can appreciate the effort involved in a project like this. It was contimplating creating my own message board script, but really didn't want to dedicate countless hours working on it. I found Yabb and have used it on several sites with great success. No complaints whatsoever." -- Jeffro

"You have created the most awesome board i've ever come across. Very Very nice job on YaBB SP1. I cant wait to see what the Team comes out with in 2002, but I'm sure it's gonna Rock." -- Mr. Oldman

"Coming from a background of barley no HTML or Perl experience, looking for a Forum that doesn't limit me to anything, I stumbled upon YaBB. I thought to myself, 'How the heck will I be able to not only upload something of this coding magnitude, how will I be able to understand what I'm doing?' After reading, what in my opinion, was the best F.A.Q ever written, I set off to accomplish one thing, making my own message board.
Here I am, 2 years later, still using 'YaBB'. Each time I came across a problem(Which was very seldom), the guys at yabbforum.com answer it quickly and easily. The general set up is easier than you could ever think, and truth be told, I never though I would see the day that I was helping others out, let alone being able to doing it myself. I can solidly say, it's because of YaBB. I'm now pushing my limits, daring to put extra modifications into my board, to edit that piece of coding, helping others when needed, and it doesn't stop there. I'm now exploring the world of graphic design, XHTML, PHP, Java, and many more scripting languages.
Thanks YaBB" -- Scottio
