I looked some softwares, they seems to be standalone web applications. I
am looking for BBS that can be integrated with existing web
applications. Thanks!
You might want to look at Jive Forums from www.jivesoftware.com,
it has a very open and extensible architecture which makes it easy
to integrate with other web apps. I once ran a project where we
replaced the whole UI with a custom one, while using their very
robust BBS engine underneath; I chose Jive precisely because it
was so easy to integrate with all the other systems we had.
Full disclosure: Jive did once send me a free t-shirt, but other
than that I have no commercial relationship with them - I'm just
a very satisfied past customer.
Jonathan.
