As of April 2017 this software is unmaintaned. I've lost the battle with spammers.
Today Discourse seems like the best
option for forum software.
What is Fofou?
Fofou is simple forum software written in Go. It stands for Forums For You.
Why another forum software?
I wrote it because it solved my problem: I needed a hassle-free forum software for hosting discussions for my various projects. I also wanted it to be like Joel On Software forums.
I was running FruitShow (a PHP implementation of this idea) on my server, but messing with MySQL and PHP and Apache is not my idea of "hassle-free", so I ported FruitShow to Google App Engine hosting platform, so that it can be installed in minutes and hosted for free.
