What is the CMS system that runs LinuxQuestions.org
Hi. Just wondering if there is a Content Management System (CMS) that you are using to manage this site or whether you have created your own. By CMS, I mean something like Xoops, Drupal, Joomla, etc. I'm building a community site and like the way yours works.
The Forums are a heavily customized vBulletin. I don't know what the other parts are made with, but I suspect they are from scratch or heavily customized as well.
vBulletin is an excellent forum software for high-traffic sites. It's also extremely feature rich and has better security than phpBB, so it's preferred for a forum like LQ.org.
vBulletin is not free forum, but it is excellent, if you want to find some free forums, try phpBB.
I believe there are even better forums than phpBB out there. Try browsing opensourcecms.com for other alternatives. The problem I see with phpBB, it's widely used and adopted so it's a good target for exploits, so their track record isn't that good really. It seems you have to patch it well too often.
