• Is the forum board used on facepunch a custom one?

I really like how this forum looks and my own forum is in the werks. I know this is [I]heavily[/I] customized but is it rooted of something? I've heard chatter about vbulletin
Yeah it is vbulletin based.
Vbulletin, but modified to hell and back so it might as well be custom.
Although this forum is heavily customized, there are a few open plugins that are available. I know at the least you can get the ratings system plugin from somewhere, as I've seen multiple other boards running versions of it. You might also be able to get something similar to the thread ticker and some of the other features at the top of the page.
rooted??? uhhhhh but basically there's so many changes that reproducing it exactly would be near impossible

PHPBB is fucking clustered as fuck. My only options are vBulletin or IP.Board and both cost hundreds -_-
vBulletin is a dead end due to the amount they've shot themselves in the foot with version 5 For paid software stick with XenForo or maybe IPB
[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;40097538]vBulletin is a dead end due to the amount they've shot themselves in the foot with version 5 For paid software stick with XenForo or maybe IPB[/QUOTE] vBulletin 5 honestly looks like a sad xenforo clone to me. I really hated the direction vBulletin was taking when Jelsoft became no more and Internet Solutions took in. Also OP to answer your question, FP runs on a heavily modified vbulletin 4.
Vbulletin but for the love of god don't buy it. I've used it for 2 years, made the switch to ip.b last week and it's the best choice i've made for my forum, it's so much better.
