[Guest]

Hi,

I was wondering which Open SOurce Application is been used as the Forum. IT seems pretty kool. I ve been using phpBB for forums all this time. Can some one let me know the name of the OS app is been used for this forum?

 

Thanks

If you look at the footer for the forum you will see that it is powered by Invision Power Board v2.0.2 ? 2004 IPS, Inc.

You may be interested in this quote from a related conversation I had w/my webhost:

 

The biggest reason we prefer vBulletin over IPB is due to server usage. vBulletin has a tendency to be easier on the server than IPB, but by far phpBB is the easiest on the server of any bulletin board software.

 

I like IPB's features too. For now, though, I'm sticking w/phpBB. I'm probably moving to a VPS hosting plan soon, and need to watch my CPU usage. It's been a bit high lately.

It should also be noted that Invision is not Open Source. It is a commercial product.

It used to be...didn't it?

No.. Invision has never been open source. They have always had a proprietary license. They did used to have a unlimited trial but they removed that when version 2.0 was released.

Ahh! That also explains why a board I am a member of shows v2.whatever it is (Trial) at the bottom.

 

I think I will stick to phpBB for now.

There's also Phorum, which we used during the TEP days :)
