which Forum-software is this site using ?

[erich37]

I have just found a huge Forum with a very nice "Questions & Answers"-implementation and I am wondering which Forum-software is used by this Forum ?

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/


Anybody knows this ?

Look for Purch.

I found the "Purch"-company and several of their Forums are using VB, but for this specific Forum I can not figure out which software it is.

Doesn't have to be a specific software though. I use several sites that are 100% proprietary.

It's not running on GrabAPerch.com thats for sure. It;s a very well established, old forum.

A quick check on archive.org from 2008: http://web.archive.org/web/20080214022742/http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/categories-list.htm

The footer shows "MyDiscussions.Net Forum, Version 2007.1 "

Given that that software no longer exists, and its a large forum thats part of the 'Best Of' network, I'd guess its now maintained in-house.
