Phorum, which is the Latin writing of the 'forum' word, is a forum software that particularly focus on high performance and additionally provides a very good level of quality for a quite complete list of features. These goals are particularly important for the most important forum community that uses Phorum: it indeed runs the official MySQL forums, which are a very good example of Phorum's ability to support big communities and large traffic.
Phorum is licensed with the Phorum License, which, according to Phorum's main developer Brian Moon, is pretty similar to a BSD license style.
Phorum development started in 1998, and the next big step will be the major version 5.3.

The way user groups are implemented is really interesting: each users can ask to join the group he wants, and groups then will accept or not their requests. This is really useful if you want to host several groups or communities on the same forum, that would be auto-managed and totally independent in their capacity of recruiting new members.
RSS integration is well implemented, and available for each threads you want to follow using an external tool (who said Google Reader?
The mandatory Quick Reply form is present as well at the bottom of each thread, and is a perfect way to comment a topic in second.

Phorum default additional features are quite limited, but this is consistent with the search for speed. Live chatting and smileys for example are typically features than can slow down a forum, by loading multiple images and user generated content, with some AJAX.
Moderation & Threads Management | ||
---|---|---|
Moderation |
Pre-Moderation
In pre-moderation, every post needs to be validated by a moderator before being published.
Post-Moderation
The moderation is done afterwards, if an administrator notices a problem or if a member reports something wrong. Each message is therefore directly published.
Reactive Moderation
By reporting any problems, members are reactive against moderation problems.
Moderators' main objective is to regularly check user reports, without having to follow each threads.
Distributed Moderation
By organizing the forum around moderators, who are usually power and experienced users, moderation is self-powered and only depends on the community.

The Phorum integration has a dedicated forum discussion in the Community Forum of Phorum. Unfortunately, we was not able to test integration with other softwares, so do not hesitate to report any success story about integration of Phorum with another web tool.
The Phorum software has an huge additional modules list.
Regarding integration with other software and services, you will have to go to this official forum section for more information.

Conformance to W3C Norms
Does Phorum correctly follow (X)HTML and CSS norms?
|
Yes. |
Norms are correctly respected by Phorum, and theme creation is quite easy, as it mainly consists with simple CSS modifications.
Phorum follows guidelines for what is was developed: Speed and Efficiency.
However, you won't find with a vanilla Phorum features you expect per default with software like PhpBB or Simple Machines Forum. We however insist on "per default" because another good qualifier for Phorum would be its Extensibility. Hundred of plugins filling gape with other bulletin boards are indeed available in the Modules page of your administration panel, and will bring your forum installation to an advanced forum in few clicks.
Of course, this will require additional searches, tests and configurations, but you will quickly notice this is a good way to understand and tune your forum to reach a perfect state, including features you exactly need.
Finally, to sum up, Phorum can be seen as a core system, that need to be extended with only what each forum manager needs. Companies (think about MySQL...) using Phorum prove also that Phorum is considered as a robust and well developed software. Consequently, following this circle of trust, you can easily let Phorum manages an huge community, in the unique condition you will not be the only person that will moderate your forum, but, that's another common question all community software share.

The reviewer tells an
The reviewer tells an incomplete story. The Power of Phorum is in fact is module/plugin system. The reviewer lists Phorum as not having any plugins. In fact, there is a smilies, captcha, HTML, BBCode editor, polls, surveys, and more. All of those are things that the reviewer claim that Phorum does not offer.
As for the editor getting old for users that use the forum a lot, that is an option for the admin to choose.
There is a template engine. It is more than just CSS. It is similar in some ways to Smarty without the class overhead and a less complex syntax.
There are also plugins and instructions for integrating Phorum with both Mambo/Joombla and Wordpress.
RSS feeds are not only available for a single forum, but the entire Phorum install, and a single thread. The default template contains a link tag at each level to the appropriate RSS feed.
I am not sure what User Banishment refers to exactly, but a user can be deactived.
As for the "messy" options under each message, we chose plain, readable text wording that fully describes the action. We find this much more usable than a non-descript icon.
Some other features this review claims we do not have that we in fact do are: Anonymous posting, private messaging, word filtering and file attaching (we had this over 5 years ago).
In closing, I would contest that we do offer the power that others offer. However, with Phorum, it is done with our also powerful module system.

bad review
Having administered a Phorum installation over 5 years I find this review highly inaccurate. I suggest you check all the "missing" functionalities in your list again and add them because most of them are already there.
Your conclusion about the Speed & Power is true, but lacking power? especially compared to phpBB (newer tried simple machines) makes me laugh. It's like you complained that Firefox is speedy but lacks power compared to Internet explorer. I haven't missed any functionality in years because of Phorums plugins. Someone has usually already made one I need. If that wasn't the case I made one myself or imporoved/changed existing plugin.
Default template too simple for beginners? Yeah, it should be more complicated so they wouldn't feel lost. And in case you didn't notice there's only 1 line of message options for normal users. The other line is for administrators only. Message reply form can be on it's own page too etc.
This is nice site where you can have a glimbse of different forum software very easily, but if you can't keep the most basic facts in order you loose credibility really fast. To become de facto place for Forum SW comparison make better reviews.
And yes you are correct that users of Phorum tend to be passionate about it...
I've just added a little
I've just added a little paragraph about the difference between a default and simple installation and its extension capabilities, to really match what Phorum is exactly.
FSR Admin - Vote for 2012.
The goal of Forum-Software
The goal of Forum-Software reviews is to describe how a forum looks like in a default installation, because most webmasters will simply test a software, look at its features briefly, and directly uninstall it if it does not support *by default* what it looked for.
You're right when you say that this review is incomplete because this review do not test the plugins of Phorum, just the default installation. So, I will add ASAP some additional information about those plugins, to inform people that if they want to use Phorum +extensions, then they will have a really complete and powerful tool for their community.
Of course, if there are real mistakes on default features that Phorum provides, please let me know to fix them.
FSR Admin - Vote for 2012.
ok, so for the mistakes:
anonymous posting is possible in the default-installation.
just needs to be enabled for the forum with allowing permissions to public users.
smiley-module is distributed with the default install. might just need to be activated in the admin-area.
javascript is not required for the core functionality.
Thank you, these mistakes are
Thank you, these mistakes are fixed. Sorry for those errors and thanks again to report them.

Couple more corrections
Thank you for addressing the inaccuracies in your review.
I have some more for you to fix.
1. operating system and webservers:
- known to work in Windows & IIS (there are some small differencees because of PHP's missing functionality in that platform, nothing major though).
- known to work in BSD
- in general it's platform independent, if PHP and Mysql runs on it then Phorum does too
2. database
- recommended MySQL 4.x (this is common FAQ, v. 3.x is no longer supported but a patch exists to use it with that)
- Beta/alpha postgre support available (not in distributed package though)
3. template engine
- there's a template engine but it's not "known". IMO you should mention it anyway because Phorum doesn't mix code & html but is fully template based. (I would put "custom/smartylike cached template engine)
4. Functionality to get with plugins (I would put a mention on that place on the tables)
- Poll creation (plugin)
- post form has "rich text editing" (even default in the current version, a plugin is cutting edge version)
- post format includes html too
- custom BB codes? I'm not sure what you mean here, but defining custom smilies is possible (for administrator that is)
- user list (an addon)
- Captcha Protection (plugins, graphical & text based available)
- user ranks (plugin)
- user avatars (plugins)
But thank you anyway for correcting the obvious mistakes. I can only hope you make small corrections to the text too. For example the fact that the final score is the same even if the functionality of Phorum is much better than your initial report has in it.
Thanks again for those
Thanks again for those comments, I've updated the review to fix these errors.
However, I will not change the final score, firstly because 7/10 is one of the best score in Forum-Software.org (same that PhpBB, and only under SMF), and secondly because I will not change the forum scores each times someone ask me to do it. The opinion and this good score will be sufficent to convince webmasters that Phorum is a good forum software.

More info
Phorum can be integrated with Amember from CGI Central, I run 4 websites with these systems and most of them handle a lot of posts per day. I am kinda amazed by the way you guys here review software. You state in your summary that e.g. MySQL.com uses Phorum. So how on earth can you give a rating like this??
If you would have taken the time to check other live sites out there using Phorum you will see that the Phorum installs runnign are either barebone ones to optimize the speed option or full graphic sites with more options then e.g. phpBB has.
There are some other pretty darn big websites out there using Phorum. In my years running phpBB it was getting hacked at least 3 times a year. I didnt have that problem with Phorum.
It can be integrated very easy into a website template without the hassle phpBB has. Seriously, don't expect me to take this site sirious after this I am sorry. My rating for this is C, mainly because of the way software is reviewed here.
Dont like my opinion then remove my post.
Yes, I didn't know that
Yes, I didn't know that MySQL.com uses Phorum, and this has changed the score of Phorum on Forum-Software.org. And please also note that 7 or 8 on 10 is a really good score.
Please however note that Forum-Software.org is a really young website, and that it is going to evolve a lot in the next months, evolve because tests will be done more seriously (because we will have more time for this, instead of developing FSO modules and components), and evolve because users like you will give their important opinion to us. If you look better, Forum-Software.org cannot be for the moment easily found in search engines, and that it has only be found because one of the Phorum user points it from phorum.org web site.
And, no, I will not remove your post.

newbie question
well, we want to know if a blog can be functioning simultaneously on the left hand side of the page while the board/forum is functioning on the right half of the page?
sorry if this seems odd, I'm asking for a friend & I don't know much at all about forums as an admin would.
