-# SpeedBB Forum
+# speedBB
 
-Placeholder README for the forum application.
+speedBB is a modern forum application with a built-in Admin Control Panel (ACP), customizable branding, user/rank management, attachment support, and integrated update tooling.
 
-## Status
+## What It Does
 
-Work in progress.
+- Hosts classic forum discussions with categories, forums, topics, and replies.
+- Provides an ACP for everyday operations (settings, users, groups, ranks, attachments, and audit log).
+- Supports brand customization (name, theme, accents, logos, favicons).
+- Manages user media (avatars, rank badges, logos) with public delivery.
+- Includes built-in update and system-check workflows so admins can verify server health and apply updates from the ACP.
+
+## ACP Areas
+
+The ACP is organized into practical sections for day-to-day forum operations:
+
+- `General`: core board identity and visual setup (name, theme defaults, accents, logos, favicons).
+- `Forums`: structure and ordering of categories/forums.
+- `Users`: account overview and moderation/admin user management actions.
+- `Groups`: role and permission group administration.
+- `Ranks`: rank definitions and badge management.
+- `Attachments`: attachment policy and extension/group controls.
+- `Audit log`: activity trail for administrative actions.
+- `System`: environment checks and update operations.
+- `Custom`: space for project-specific custom assets/overrides.
+
+### System
+
+The System area is split into two focused views:
+
+- `Health`: shows whether the live website environment is healthy enough to run reliably.
+- `Updates`: provides update-related checks and update actions, including CLI interpreter validation.
+
+This separation is intentional:
+- `Health` answers “Is the site healthy right now?”
+- `Updates` answers “Is this server ready to run update operations?”
+
+## Current Product Status
+
+- Active version: `26.0.3`
+- Forum + ACP features are in active use.
+- Health and update checks are integrated directly into ACP System.
