Does anyone know what software and theme this forum is based on?

Thanks in advance

This forum is using discourse. A free and open-source forum software. Unfortunately, you cannot install it in free hosting.

Not even via FTP?

discourse uses Ruby on Rails, which isn’t PHP (what this hosting provider provides as a language to program websites in)

If you want to install a Discourse-like forum, you should consider Codoforum

download it here
it has a free version too

demo: https://codoforum.ga

This forum ran on Codoforum as well back in 2016. The whole project felt a bit hacky back then. It was moved to Vanilla Forums later that year, I haven’t kept track of what happened to the project since then.

So now it’s on Discourse right?
I know ProFreeHost is on Vanilla

Yes, this forum is currently running on Discourse.
