soTalk – Fat-free forum software
esoTalk is a free, open-source forum software package built with PHP and MySQL. It is designed to be:

• Fast. esoTalk's code was architectured to have little overhead and to be as efficient as possible.
• Simple. All of esoTalk's interfaces are designed around simplicity, ease-of-use, and speed.
• Powerful. Despite its simplicity, a large array of plugins and skins are available to extend the functionality of esoTalk.

esoTalk is developed by Toby Zerner in memory of his brother, Simon.

System Requirements
esoTalk requires PHP 5 and a modern version of MySQL.

The PHP gd extension is required to support avatar uploading.

esoTalk has only been tested on Apache and lighttpd. If you encounter a problem specific to any other web server, please create an issue. От себя:
+ php 5.4 ООП, чистый грамотный код
+ Легкий и быстрый
+ Шикарный поиск по форуму, аналогов нету.
+ Достаточно плагинов, чтобы стартонуть, но мало шаблонов.
+ Русифицирован(в виде расширения)
+ Шаблонизатор на php+html
+ Есть русскоговорящие на форуме поддержки

- Некоторые проблемы с локализацией, в связи с тем, что некоторые мелочи, зашиты в двиг, но очень легко решаются.
- Класс FORM вперемешку с HTML, тоже легко исправить
- HTML отдельно от CSS, но то же можно поправить.
