I like Grez's suggestion, but here are a few to spark the imagination:

PunBB Forums: Because small and fast is good.
PunBB Forums: Function before form.
PunBB Forums: Simply works!
PunBB Forums: Elegance before sophistication.
PunBB Forums: The KISS principle.

and my favourite:
PunBB - Simply fast.

Some examples of famous slogans;

Apple: "The Power to Be Your Best."
Carlsberg: "Probably the best lager in the world"
HSBC: "The world's local bank"
Coca-Cola: "It's the real thing."
Guiness: "Guinness is Good for You."
M&Ms: "The milk chocolate that melts in your mouth - not in your hand."
Intel: "Intel inside"

so sometimes capitals are fine when emphasizing, and 'the' is often used... see M&Ms, HSBC, Apple
so it's just question of taste... but noted : 2 are already for dropping the 'the'.... and PunBB

Without article is imo best choice. But I'm thinking... this is "just" slogan, so there shouldn't be capitals, should it? As well, I think that slogan shouldn't contain the PunBB in it (it looks quite strange, when you see PunBB 2 times there )

So... this is how would I prefer it:

PunBB Forums
Lightweight PHP-based forum

Thanks for the feedback, don't you think people will mentally add an A or the THE themselves....
What is PunBB?
a. THE Lightweight Php-Based Forum - infering it's the choice when searching for a lightweight forum...
b. A Lightweight Php-Based Forum - infering it's just another one out there....
Lightweight Php-Based Forum - leaving it open to intepretation if it's a. or b. or something else...

I think it is a good idea. The original "slogan" is a bit complicated and belongs to certain cultures who use those idioms. It is not really good English. I like KeyDog's suggestion better. Actually. the definitive article is not needed and, I think, sounds a bit Victorian. How about just:

PunBB - Lightweight PHP-Based Forum

Instead of the old matrix line mashup used here
(Unfortunately no one can be told what PunBB is - you have to see it for yourself.)

Don't know if you call it slogan or if you have another name for that

actually slogan?

New slogan? PunBB - The Lightweight PHP-Based Forum.

Is this something people could live with?

I think it makes it clearer what PunBB is about.

People who love Linux etc love PunBB for example, cos of simplicity and lightweight.

Your opinion counts!
