    looks just like a basic forum integration into a website, not forum software itself...

    It looks good for a off-topic forum

    That Joe Ward guy comes from vBSEO, so perhaps he might really be onto something.

    Explains why the URL structure is so similar to vBulletin's under vBSEO. Apparently this guy doesn't work for them anymore, though.

    I've seen people try to make their forum softwares many times, never have I seen one start off from such a small scale as this.

    Is this a download or a hosted solution? I can't find a download or sign up button anywhere on that site... Nonetheless, this should be interesting for Vanilla Forums.

    Both actually. You can either have them host it for you or it is available in a downloadable package to self host. It is not available for purchase just yet.

    Purchase? Ha. It looks nice but I wouldn't pay for it. Vanilla is free.

    Launch forum is a new forum software still in alpha.

    www.launchforums.com

    What do you think of it? I think it looks a bit like Xenforo

    Never saw that :)

    Do you think it is good enough to have a cost for it?
