QuillPen Forum - http://www.corknut.org/code/quillpen
Ryan N. Freebern / rfreebern@corknut.org

The QuillPen forum is a set of very basic ASP pages and other support files
to assist web developers in creating web-based discussion forums. It is
simple, not feature rich, and not secure, but it does all the basic things
a web-based discussion forum needs to: maintain multiple forums with any
number of messages and replies, maintain user info for any number of users,
and allow new users to create accounts.

It contains no administrative features, very little input validation, and
no cruft. It should run pretty much out of the box, but is rather boring.

If you wish to use this to create a forum on your website, I ask only one
thing: that you leave a clearly demarcated link on each page of the forum
to either http://www.corknut.org or http://www.corknut.org/code/quillpen
and you do not attempt to claim the base code or any of the included
graphics as your own.

I am in no way responsible if using this code causes personal harm or
destruction of property.

If you end up modifying QuillPen a significant amount, using it successfully
on a website, or doing anything cool with it, please write to me at
rfreebern@corknut.org and let me know, just so I can see what you've done.

USAGE:
To function correctly, the QuillPen code needs at least one forum, at least
one user, and at least one message in the database. The package as
distributed contains all this; you may wish to modify the database directly
by hand to edit these entries.

Unzip the package into a directory on a Microsoft IIS webserver. Make sure
all the file are publically accessible. Visit the index.asp file in a
browser and go to town.

Good luck, and enjoy.
