“Becoming interested in PHP while developing one of my RuneScape fan sites,” says Shaun, the developer of ShaunsBoards, “I wanted to provide some safe, secure, and easy to use forum software.”

Starting in July of 2007, Shaun ventured out into the world of PHP, on his quest to start ShaunsBoards. “It was very difficult at first, having to learn all this new PHP nonsense,” says Shaun, the developer of ShaunsBoards.

“The first version of ShaunsBoards, I really focused on the core of the ShaunsBoards system, and the entire thing was mostly text-based. It wasn’t until the second or third version of ShaunsBoards that I really started to worry about the design.”

I have seen the core files of ShaunsBoards. If I can tell you anything, it would be that Shaun has spent a lot time, effort, and pride into this forum software.

When asked about how he feels about competitors such as Invision Power Board, and vBulletin, his reply is: “I think they are great interpretations of the way forum software should be, but both are very confusing to manage, and things such as skinning, and modifications become very difficult tasks. With ShaunsBoards, my task is to make things simply…simple. I want to make things easy for someone who has very little computer experience.”

Shaun’s plans on pricing are to release the first couple of beta stages for free, and then a small fee will be needed to obtain a license to use the software.

No matter what the competitors throw at ShaunsBoards, I think the software will make it big.

Drop by sometime and look at ShaunsBoards.
