Anyone know of a single-forum message board module

I am looking for a very simple single category forum module. Can anyone help? Something like Bazooka Board

Thanks

You could always use CBB and only create one forum area?

Thanks David. If I used CBB, wouldn't the top level show the index of categories like the default XOOPS one? As simple and as light weight as possible. I generally find forum scripts like phpbb to look empty with smaller discussion sites.

Hmmm - i'll think on this - but i think if you edited the layout slightly, it doesnt need to show all the information - so should make it closer to the example you showed...?

I also need anonymous users to be able to post. But I don't want the forum to show 'Anonymous' in the posted by area. In other words, if users aren't registered, can they just type their nickname using CBB?

The site I am working on needs to be 'anonymous' friendly and not forcing people to register.

Thanks in advance

Yes, CBB will allow anonymous users to enter a name as long as it is set that way in the prefs.

It will add the default XOOPS pref for anonymous users to the front of it, so you'll need to edit that as well to get exactly what you'r looking for.

ie: Guest_Adrock <--xoops anonymous user added to front of chosen name in CBB post

Happy Xoopsing!

(Another option would be to bend a simple blog to your liking and use that as the 'message board'. Pop'n'Up Blog by bluemoon can be set for anonymous posting...)

Phppp's recent Blog module would be a good choice for this as well
