Hi

I want to set up a private forum for a number of franchisees.
Ideally I'd like to script/automate the creation/deletion of accounts.

Are there any recommended pre-configured forums that support the api/script feature?

I've started reading up about google groups but doesn't look ideal

Many thanks

Kevin

Most of them should be able to handle some sort of account creation by csv, if you have a list of the usernames etc to inject.

We've got a v-bulletin forum (same software as this one) running with automatic creation of users. It's not a built in feature but I wrote a php script that does the work.

Last I looked they didn't have an API so you have to write directly to the database.
