Seeking message board application

[gbdg]

Despite my pleas to use something like Snitz, this board, or other such message board, my client insists that we implement a message board such as is demonstrated in this site:

http://www.danblanton.com/bulletin.html

Does anyone know of an ASP message board, which they have successfully installed and operated, that presents messages in this format?

Thanks

The most popular board using that style was Matt's "wwwboard" w/ Perl. There have been a number of ASP offshoots for that ... this one (http://www.chase3000.com/stephenh/default.asp?fr=projects/wwwboard.htm) would be pretty much what you want, but the download links are broekn at the moment (e-mail the author); though you can view a demo here (http://www.chase3000.com/wwwboard/).

There is another simple ASP board here (http://www.aspwebsoft.com/), see if it suits your requirement.

Coming to the ASP/Perl talk, the board at the url you quoted, uses only a single perl script, that is called when a message is posted to the board. Installing ActivePerl (www.activestate.com) on a WinNT/2k/xp machine is painless and you can quickly get a perl script running for that matter. So unless your client insists on 'ASP only' due to one reason or the other, I would suggest looking up Perl or PHP webboards -- most of them have been in development for a long time and do offer many moderation abilities behind the simple wwwboard interface. This (http://amsoft.ru/ruboard/) is a simple wwwboard clone if you wish to go that way.
