FUD Forum stands for, ‘Fast Uncompromising Discussion Forum’ and has been available for well over a decade now and continues to get updates and improvements. The platform is written in PHP and is coded quite efficiently to help keep it responsive and stable. It is generally recommended for very large forums with hundreds of thousands of users and millions of posts. Of course, it will also work fine with smaller communities.
The system is completely free to use and open source. It is one of only a few free forums platforms that is recommended for large communities. The developers have done a great job at balancing features with performance, and also weaving in excellent security to the entire system. This really is one of the better forums platforms out there today, and one that anyone looking to have forums on their site should consider.

FudForum is an excellent option for people who want to create a great online community. It has a ton of options, runs smoothly, and can grow along your community to become as large as you would like. For those who just want a simple place for a few friends to talk online, this option is likely overkill. It can be a little hard to manage and get used to so unless you’re willing to put in the time and effort to run these forums right, it might be best to go with an easier option. This platform, however, should be considered by anyone who wants to build a large community.
