Phorum's developers pride themselves on creating message board software that is designed to meet different needs of different web sites while not sacrificing performance or features.</p> <table id="features" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td id="speed" width="50%" valign="top"> <h2>Performance</h2> <p>The group of developers of Phorum had very different needs. Some needed software that could run a single forum with over 2,000 new posts per day. Others hosted over 4,000 forums on one server. The end result is a versatile product that can serve anyone's needs.</p> </td> <td id="power" width="50%" valign="top"> <h2>Freedom</h2> <p>For the Phorum team, freedom means having the ability to make your message board do what you want it to do. Your message board should fit into your site. The developers of Phorum believe that the branding of the message board software should not over power the branding of your products and services.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td id="hooks" width="50%" valign="top"> <h2>Forum Customization</h2> <p>To satisfy the web master that needs every bell and whistle, or those that want to make their web site unique, the Phorum team created a very flexible hook & module system. These hooks allow a webmaster to create modules for using external authentication, altering message data before its stored, adding custom information about users or messages... almost anything you could want.</p> </td> <td id="templates" width="50%" valign="top"> <h2>Forum Design</h2> <p>Phorum gives the web designers the power to rearrange the data in any shape, form or fashion they could want. The templates are in pure HTML with simple to understand text commands embedded in them. You can use the provided templates as a starting point or start from scratch. The power is in your hands.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td id="news" width="50%" valign="top"> <h2>News</h2> <p><a href="/story.php?"></a><br /></p> </td> <td id="featured" width="50%" valign="top"> <h2>Featured Phorum</h2> <p><a href="http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/phorum/">Cantonese Help Center</a><br />"Membership to the site is managed exclusively via Phorum's Control Center, which was easy to alter via plugin modules, template changes and the built-in custom profile fields. All registered users can now customize the site's Chinese dictionary according to their needs. Paid members can hide advertising across the site. The core Phorum code wasn't altered in any way in order to implement these changes."</p> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <div id="footer" align="center"> — <a href="/about.php">About Us</a> — <a href="mailto:security@phorum.org">Security Issues</a> — <a href="/phorum5/">Support</a> — <a href="https://github.com/Phorum/Core/issues?sort=created&direction=desc&state=open&page=1">Report Bugs</a> — <a href="/free-php-message-board-phorum.php">Why Phorum?</a> — </div>   </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-89211-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageLoadTime']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
