Dear All,

Looking for a Forum that requires the User sign up then receive an =
email to activate the Account. Basically a Double Opt In type of thing =
and to verify the email address is correct.

The other thing I need it to do is to allow Posting of Messages and =
Replies to various Forums for a certain amount of time. After the time =
expires people can read the posts but can no longer reply.

Basically need it to be able have multiple forums, threads, =
discussions (whatever term you want to use) that are unlimited for about =
60 days. After 60 days only reading is allowed. This does not have to =
be automatic, but can be done on a manual basis if required.

Any one know of anything like this?

Thank you,

This is from one of the discus (free version) admin screens. These are all
radio buttons & checkboxes on the screen.

These guys are pretty good about customizing the board for people who are
willing to pay.

As you can see, you can set it so that only registered users or "Certain

There are some other nice features. I have an example of the free version
