What is XMB?

XMB is open-source forum software that runs on PHP with a MySQL database. It is designed to be straightforward to set up while allowing extensive customisation through themes and modifications. Robert Chapin has led development since May 2008, and the project is overseen by The XMB Group. It is distributed under the GPL.

How to install XMB on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, XMB is live

Licence: GPL · Built with: PHP + MySQL · Official site: www.xmbforum2.com

Common uses

  • Community discussion board with sub-forums
  • Hobby or fan club forum
  • Customised forum using themes and modifications

XMB requirements

  • PHP: PHP 8.2 or higher for XMB 1.10; XMB 1.9.12 is the documented alternative for older PHP, with a minimum of PHP 7.0
  • Database: MySQL 5.5.8 or newer (MySQL 8.0 to 8.4 fully supported)
