I've seen other forums and the software looks a lot different. This format was popular once ad I think this may be the only forum left running this program.

What is it?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, this version is terrific. Again, I know nothing abut this stuff, but the only forums I've ever picked are the ones that run this version: it's easy on the eyes, really versatile, and very easy to use.

There are a couple of main forum softwares, and most out of the box actually look pretty similar and are pretty good/functional. What happens is that owners go all Fast & Furious on their forums adding spoilers and neon lights and body kits (via add-ons/extensions) that are at best unnecessary and at worst gaudy. Thankfully the owner of this forum has some restraint :)

There are also all sorts of themes that can be applied. If you look in the bottom left corner of DP you can choose to change your theme to 'The Green Machine' (click on the drop down that says DP three dot oh). I'm too used to the blue one though.
