YaBB Software Downloads

I looked at different forums and I liked how YaBB looked and I liked support forum too. After downloading one helpfull admin from another yabb-forum installed it for me. It took maybe an hour or less. Our forum started in May 2001. Quite long time I was there alone, but soon some people came, liked our forum and forum started to grow. Now it is spring 2004. We have 6694 members, 12214 topics and 425651 posts. In February we got 3 176 675 page impressions to our site. YaBB forum makes more than 70% of it.

Description of releases
CGI: This is the full YaBB package with the YaBB executable as a ".cgi" file. Some servers only allow this file extension for executables.
PL: This is the same full YaBB package as the above, but the executable has a ".pl" extension, which some people prefer.
Update: This is the mod package that you can use with Boardmod to upgrade an existing YaBB forum. It is not a full package.
