PHP forum app recommendations?

[extrovertive]

I'm looking for a simple PHP/MySQL forum script that can be easily integrated with a list of my existing members (100K+), and that can be easily customize. I want to be able to integrate the forums on my site (I have the header and footer) and want to fit it within the content section my site. Can anyone list some sample forums and demos on a site?

 

Also, there should be a feature for me to retrieve some forums feeds (i.e. latest forum discussion topics) which I can display on the front page of my site.

 

Can anyone help?

It is going to be hard with any forums software to integrate with your current member system, but here is a list of forums:

Hm... Well, did you write your own custom members script? How are your members joining, etc? You might be able to write up your own conversion script to export your members out of your existing table and re-insert them into the new forum software's table. Or you could try and merge them. Depends on how you've gone about things I guess.

Something you might want to do is, on the register script, when your inputting data into your member table, also put relevant information into the forum's member table. Then the logins will be the same.

 

You could even go as far as login. If you figure out how the forums login system work, then integrate it with your login system
