FUDforum is a free and open-source Internet forum software, originally produced by Advanced Internet Designs Inc., that is now maintained by the user community. The name "FUDforum" is an abbreviation of Fast Uncompromising Discussion forum.[2] It is comparable to other forum software. FUDforum is customizable and has a large feature set relative to other forum packages.[3]

FUDforum runs on a number of operating systems that are able to support the PHP programming language, including Unix, Linux and Windows systems. The interface is based on HTML5 with CSS, jQuery and AJAX.[4]

The code is released under the General Public License v2.0 only and Internet sites can use the software royalty-free.
