Tinyboard -- A lightweight PHP imageboard.

Tinyboard is a light-weight, fast, highly configurable and user-friendly
imageboard software package released under a non-restrictive open-source
license. It is written in PHP and has few dependencies.

------------
1.	PHP >= 5.2.5
2.	[mbstring](http://www.php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php) 
	(--enable-mbstring)
3.	[PHP-GD](http://php.net/manual/en/book.image.php)
