YaBB

Yet another Bulletin Board or YaBB is the earliest predecessor of SMF, apart from RobBoard, which isn't neccessarily in SMF's lineage, as YaBB wasn't actually splinted from it, but made by a third-party to replace it.&#160; YaBB is written in the Perl programming language.

YaBB was later splinted into multiple forums, while its existance as a unique forum continued.&#160; The splinted forums are YaBB Platinum (possibly no longer avaiable), YaBB Light Edition (or YaBB LE), and YaBB Splinter Edition (or YaBB SE).

YaBB is SMF's only predecessor still in development.
