  • Discourse

    A platform for community discussion. Free, open, simple.

    • Discourse: https://www.discourse.org/ - The tag system seems nice https://meta.discourse.org/tag/moderation. But the overall navigation menu/ability seems poor. Overall, I much prefer the UI of phpBB. One of the main appeals of Discourse seems to be the built-in restrictions on new accounts to limit spam?

  • nodeBB

    Node.js based forum software built for the modern web

    • NodeBB

  • Flarum

    Simple forum software for building great communities.

    • Flarum (full disclosure, I have previously done some development on this one)

  • phpBB

    phpBB Development: phpBB is a popular open-source bulletin board written in PHP. This repository also contains the history of version 2.

    • phpBB: https://www.phpbb.com/ - free & open source. Seems very customizable. Used by VLC https://forum.videolan.org/ - I like it but I don't see tags/flair.
