About POP Forums

POP Forums v9 is a forum app for ASP.NET MVC used as the core for several sites maintained by the author. It is not a science project, but a long-term commitment to great community.

The project goals of v9 are:

Use the database schema from v8.x with as few changes as possible.
Use ASP.NET MVC instead of Webforms.
Make the project open source under Ms-PL.
Be the best ASP.NET-based forum.
Not duplicate UBB's 1998 UI for the Nth time.

You can find all kinds of information, including FAQ's, installation instructions, downloads, version history and more on CodePlex.
