Ever want a message board on your website, but concerned that PHPBB is just a little too complex for your target audience? How many of your users are going to know what kind of PHP date() string they want their pages generated with? Perhaps you don't plan to have thousands of concurrent users and millions of posts. Why do you need a full database back end?

The XML Message board stores posts in simple, un-ordered XML files. New messages are simply appended to the bottom of the file. Proper hierarchical display is archived with client-side XSLT.
