Yes, I'm writing my own forum software. Now, before you all laugh at me, you should probably know that I've already written, and tested, the following:
- View news.
- Post news.
- Register.
- View posts.
- Post all list.

What do I still need to do? Add creating posts, a better interface for posting news (its currently $_GET() arguments), logging in, cookies, etc. Heres links to some of the features:

EDIT -
You're going to need to authenticate with the server I'm hosted on.
