esoBB (formerly known as esoForum for Projects) is a light-weight forum application written in the PHP scripting language. Available under the GNU General Public License, esoBB is free and open-source.
Features of esoBB include the ability to categorize conversations (threads) by tags, a powerful search controller and a flat message structure (similar to phpBB) with support for quoting.
History
The esoBB project was started in March 2018 as a fork of the esoTalk forum software by the name esoTalk. By November 16 2018, the domain "esotalk.net" was turned into a web forum named esoForum, which later became geteso. The forum software originally served the purpose of a forum for geteso and later developed into a fully-functional software package. A pre-release version of esoProjects was made available on March 19 2021. After the forum began advertising on 4chan and other sites, several new members made contributions to the software code base.
esoBB delta 1
esoBB 1.0.0d1 (delta 1) was released on January 17 2022, making several improvements to the pre-release version and bug fixes.
esoBB delta 2
esoBB delta 2 is planned to be released sometime May 2023. Among various quality of life improvements, 1.0.0d2 includes support for PHP 8.0 (commit 44105ba) and the MySQLi (MySQL improved) driver (commit ad016b4).
