ForumFive - PHP/SQLite Forum in ~5kB
So a while ago I created a 1kB PHP forum based on the original.
Since then I wanted to see if I could actually make a useful discussion area by adding a couple more kilobytes of code to the project. I also wanted to move to SQLite so that I could use this system on lowendboxes without needing to setup a full RDBMS. The main PHP file is ~4kB, the theme is another ~6kB, and the rest is the twitter bootstrap framework.

It may be ugly, but it uses UTF-8 encoding, prepared statements, and is E_STRICT.

would love to see a demo
I too, would also like to see a demo.

idk about the Xeoncross one. I'll setup on my dev machine.
Oh dear...
@Xeoncross lemme check, sounds nice
Thanks for the continued support and contribution to the OpenSource community
Looks pretty neat; I may use this to learn PHP. Thanks for sharing

Still a bit buggy. I'll put list together tonight.
FYI - Don't log in or it will send you into an infinite loop where you can't do anything.
Oh that's really a buggy bug.
Are you sure? My browser says this.

With Bootstrap it looks quite nice i think.
Is this still the demo? It looks like a Wordpress-style CMS thing.
my question why not make it 50kb and make something that works.
awesomely put!!
the site is bootstrapped
Just to be clear, the new ForumFive system has nothing in common with that mess.
This morning I updated the project with a few important bug fixes and added a working demo.

I think you might be surprised to find it works better than you expect. However, the goal was just a cute discussions system - you are better off running something like Vanilla for a complex site.
As a side note, the next thing I'd like to add is a Jasvascript markdown parser (perhaps epiceditor) so that the comments can have code samples and other important stuff.
@Xeoncross
pfff, Vanilla, I can't even think of any site that uses that crap cough
Xeoncross, nice work!
If you could make it WP plugin, then its awesome.
Why would you add this to something as bloated as WP?
Just use MyBB on that, since you've committed to Bloatpress already - a few extra megs shouldn't hurt
Ya, Wordpress is kind of at odds with the design goals.

Still, I don't see why not. Though I'm not the man for the job.
Great idea! Please keep developing!
