MyBB Community Forums

Basic stuff: Does MyBB build a BB website, or a BB that I embed into my existing website?

Is the Community Forum the knowledgebase, or is there one I just didn't find?

Why doesn't anyone construct forums for people who haven't used them before? I will be seeking an audience that is unfamiliar, and I don't want them to give up because it isn't intuitive. (And no, it's not, if you haven't used one before.) Is there any kind of tutorial out there somewhere for the layman who wants to post and follow?

It can do both.

Knowledge Base: http://wiki.mybb.com/

by installing myBB one gets a Bulletin Board / forums similar to this community forums !!

you may also embed myBB in to an existing site

the knowledge base is here : Wiki

almost all forums consist of Help documents (Help)

You can also easily use MyBB with your website to have additional pages if you want. I have many of my pages use MyBB so I can easily check for permissions without having to use a bunch of passwords.
