CGI Scripts 

The XMB Forum is a PHP web based message board. Unlike an email list or newsgroup, the 

XMB Forum creates a forum on your web site that allows users to post questions and receive 

replies, all from their web browser. This allows you to choose from a variety of graphical 

interfaces and smilies   little faces that communicate the mood of the writer 

. Once a 

forum has been created you can modify it extensively, from adding new sub forums to changing 

the visual appearance of the board. Be sure to visit the XMB Forum web site

2.7MB, and will grow in size with the popularity of the forum.
