PHPFusions Forum system is one of our most popular additions.

The Forum system can provide you with a rock solid Forum that is ready to be customized for your needs.
You can have a functional Forum up and running with one Main Forum category and one Forum topic by the help of a few mouse clicks.
You can assign Moderators with Access levels either on a User level or set by the native User Group functions of PHPFusion.

You can have as many or as few Forums or your site as you like.
