Simplemachinesforum is a BSD licensed php bulletin board software that is very amenable to modification by a smart LLM. You can add just about anything you want into it.
Most of it is divided up into a large number of medium-sized discrete php files.
It run on just about the most boring apache2 (or nginx), mariadb, PHP stuff...

SMF which was a PHP fork of YaBB SE which was a rewrite of YaBB which was perl based. I loved the forum ecosystem back then.
Eventually discovering a nulled vbulletin was like finding a pot of gold. You just had to be there.
