What Forum Software is flyertalk?
Hello, I've been a member for a long while, and been away. I want to create a forum for my new interests and was wondering what forum software that flyertalk runs on so that I might install a copy.
Cheers and thanks!

Hey, thanks everyone! I'm looking for an intuitive Forum to run on my server. My website is not monetized, and won't be. I want everything clean on my site and on my forum. It's just for my hobby's online enthusiast outside of their respective platforms. (FB, IG, X, BS, Reddit, Discord)

As an alternative to self-hosting (and having to maintain/upgrade/security patches etc.) you might also consider using Google Groups

Groups can be public, private, invitation-only, etc.

Some of the Online Communities I'm trying to serve do not like the tracking associated with things like Google. My audience is very diverse in type of user. Some will shy away from being tracked. I do appreciate the thoughts and suggestions though!
