DCForum is a complete web conferencing software for building and
managing an online discussion community. Since 1997, countless
webmasters from all over the world have chosen DCForum over its
competitors. Whether you're managing your company's online support
program or simply providing an interactive environment for Netizens
of common interest, you'll find the proven technology you need in
DCForum.
DCForum is developed to meet the following design goals:
- Easy Installation
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).
- Minimum Server Requirements
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.
- Clean and Intuitive User Interface
The interface is the most important aspect of a good forum
software. It is imperative to keep it clean, intuitive, and
user-friendly.
- Efficient Modular Design
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.
- Easily Customizable Interface
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.
- Fully Threaded Style of Discussion
While we do offer optional linear discussion style, we strongly
believe that the fully threaded discussion format is the ideal
style for a web conferencing software. Unlike the linear
messaging style boards, DCForum allows one-to-one interaction
among forum users and reduces the difficulty of subscribing to a
particular thread among thousands of posts.
