twitter ready version:
We have released a Django forum application, with some cool features not in any other Django based forum. You can get it here or see it in action.
blog version
There are quite a few Django based forum applications, so why another? Its a bit of a rhetorical question, as the answer is “none of them met my needs exactly, so we created my own”, as you might expect.
Without further ado here is a list of features. It is available on uswaretech.com/forum/.
- Based on, inspired by and ripped from PunBB. (Thanks!)
- PunBB like 3 phased hierarchy [Forum]->Subforum->Topic->Post
- Tightly integrated with Socialauth. (Screenshots)
- Gravatar support
- Moderation features (Close, stikify, make announcement etc.)
- Ajax based posting
We are starting our forums based on this app, so we plan to be supporting and developing this for foreseeable future. Fork this on Github or check this out now.

2. PyBB: (http://pybb.org/)
PyBB (Python Bulletin Board) is a python forum engine implemented as django application. The aim of PyBB development is to build django application which could be easily built in existing django project.
This is a basic forum component that can plug into any existing Django installation and use it's existing templates, users, and admin interface. Perfect for adding forum functionality to an existing website.
Current Status
- Uses Django Admin for maintenance / moderation - no in-line admin features as yet
- Uses existing django Auth and assumes you already have that up and running. I use and recommend django-registration
- Roll your own site with little work: Install Django, install django-registration, flatpages, django-forum, setup your templates and you have an instant website :)
- Code is as pulled out of my other projects - changes will be made as I go to make sure it's as standalone as possible, right now should be pretty good.
DjangoBB is a quick and simple forum which uses the Django Framework (written in Python language). Abbreviation DjangoBB stands for Django Bulletin Board. DjangoBB is distributed under the BSD license.
The basic concept of the forum progress is:
- the usage of various DBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite)
- the ease of integration into any Django project and the ease of installation
- the usage of standard libraries for launching on conventional hostings with python support
- user-friendly installation process
- classic view of the forum like IPB, PhpBB, Punbb
- easy forum setup
- high speed
- reliability
At the current stage of development the main object is the functional implementation of the PunBB forum, in the sequel it is projected to expand it significantly.
