Nice! Good to see some other free forum softwares popping up again.

I am super happy to see that ForumSpark is returning again! I was happy to see Jamie promoting it a year or so ago, and was a bit sad to see the project get abandoned. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out on this again!

Moving forward, ForumSpark is here for the long run. I can assure everyone of that. We’ve got some great things in store. Now we just need to find some admins willing to create a community on our platform!
