Gourt Home::Gourt :: UBB.classic
UBB.classic (formerly Ultimate Bulletin Board or UBB) is an Internet forum software package originally written by Ted O'Neil of Groupee, Inc. in 1996. It is written in Perl and uses a flat file system. The current version of the software is 6.7.3, and is maintained by Charles Capps.
End of life
At one time the hallmark of all message board software, UBB.classic has seen its market share steadily decline. Groupee has recently announced that the 6.7 series will be the last versions of UBB.classic. In the summer of 2005, Infopop announced a new product planned that is yet to be named (and as of March 2006, released either). The new product will replace UBB.classic as well as UBB.threads, and will use PHP/MySQL.
On March 30, 2006, Groupee, Inc. announced that the previously announced replacement product will be called UBB.Threads v7 and not a completely new product. They did announce that UBB.Classic would reach "end of life", and cease being a product they support and take orders for on June 15, 2006.
