fora

Open source forum - done different

fora follows a different philosophy than that of other open source forum software:

• No categories, completely dynamic via tags and tag sets instead of topics
• No registration — every visitor is automatically assigned an account, and they are automatically logged in to the correct account when visiting again
• No community authentication — every user is assumed to be trustworthy (no passwords to log in, can edit anybody elses’ posts, like a wiki — although versions are kept)
• Member trust built on self-sufficient ratings, not mere membership

With fora, we hope to counter some of the basic anthropological problems associated with the limitations of normal 'discussion-board', or forum software. Such limitations and the said problems are discussed in more depth here.
