README

Message Board is a Laravel 5 package which assigns a message board to each User, where posts and comments can be posted.

Bans and a permission system are provided out of the box. Social features such as "likes" are included as well.

The package comes bundled with a highly customizable full featured API, which needs to be enabled in the config file, to let your application use Message Board through asynchronous calls without having to write your own API.
