Merging CodeIgniter and NoNonsense Forum

The latest commit is 4 years old. Are you sure you want to use an old application like that? What about bug fix and security fix?

I guess your word "commit" should have been "comment".

I am only a novice, attempting to build a website, because I've been unable to find a competent developer. I've become a believer in "if you want something done properly, then do it yourself". But I do still need help from other people.

The age of an application does not bother me, but if it had bugs and or security risks, then that would bother me.

As I've said "I only want a very simple but effective forum" and NNF appears to be the best I can find, however I'm open to other ideas.

I would prefer a forum that is built into CodeIgniter but I can't find anything like that.

Later I will need a "chat system" similar to a forum but involving 2 persons.

Have you got any suggestions?
