MyBB
Since May 2009, Tom - Xekko's developer - has been an active part of the MyBB development team.
MyBB (also known as MyBulletinBoard) is a forum system which powers message boards and communities across the world. From Electronic Arts to the Pirate Bay, right down to the new startups for niche topics, it is freely available to anybody who wants to run their own community.
On the MyBB Community Forum, help and support is provided free too. Everyone on the MyBB team are volunteers who dedicate time and their knowledge to help the project. It's grown and grown to become one of the most popular free forum systems available and often people from commercial projects - such as Invision and vBulletin - convert their community to MyBB.
MyBB has won the Forum Software.org Best Free Forum Software Award in 2008, 2010 and 2011.
