DCForum is a complete web conferencing software for building and managing an online discussion community.
DCForum is developed to meet the following design goals:
- A typical DCForum installation requires editing only one setup file. It requires only a minimal knowledge in uploading files, creating directories, and changing permissions (FTP client).
- Because DCForum utilizes text-delimited datafiles and internal modules, the sole server requirement is that you can run Perl CGI programs on your server. See DCForum Server Requirements for details.
- The interface is the most important aspect of a good forum software. It is imperative to keep it clean, intuitive, and user-friendly.
- The quality of software is not only revealed in its appearance, but more importantly in its source code. Unlike most other forum softwares, DCForum consists of 120 modules (.pl files), each designed to perform specific tasks. Check out "under the hood" of other competing products and see for yourself why you should choose DCForum.
- The overall layout of the forum must be easily customizable in order to expedite the integration process of the forum to the rest of your site. You can accomplish this by modifying a single HTML template file.
