I have been trying to help the moderator on this site who's a cyber-acquaintance of mine, and who took on that role long after that forum was established, to determine what software is running it. Both of us have tried every trick we know to try to find identifying information, but I'll be darned if either of us has been able to succeed.

We could both be "dumb as a box of rocks" on this particular quest, there could be somewhere that we just don't know about to check, or the developers of said software did not leave traces of identification to be found.

I know that it is long out of support, and I also know that it was a commercial product (I don't think it was open source, but who knows?).

If anyone recognizes what this software is "on sight" would you mind sharing? Also, if you know of any documentation for same that would be useful as well. I can try The Wayback Machine if I can at least ID what the software is.
 
Mark, even though I have my answer, I would like to understand your question. Are you asking what OS platform it's running on? I don't know, but certainly could ask.

Yes, that was the question but I got answer when I had a few minutes to look at it a while ago. Apache 2.4.18 on top of Ubuntu. Wasn't even paying attention to your original post "discus.pl"

The site has such a W95 look to it.

Nice link I wandered off to....

Hello All. Not that I don't appreciate the input, I do, but it's time to save yourself some effort after reading my post up at #4.

The confirmed identification of the software as DiscusWare occurred some hours ago. So, solved.
