Hello, all.
I have been a passive fan of HBT.com for several years and have watched the site grow impressively. Can anyone answer the following questions (I tried asking the administrators, but they're busy, I suppose):
Exactly what is the name of this particular forum / message board software / web hosting program? I've seen it used on about 50 different forum style sites and it works very well for that purpose, so obviously it's pretty common.
Is this format offered as part of a standard or premium website hosting service from a company like Go Daddy? If so, what is the service called exactly?
The reason I'm asking is that I am thinking about this style of site to be used by my small business as a "virtual office space.". The idea being that the company employees and associates - all of about 6 people right now, but we are often geographically separated - could log into the site, work on projects, upload files, and participate in forum style discussions. I would also use the "tiered" access system to allow visitors one level of access (ie. the virtual lobby), clients another level (access to their own projects), and employees wider access to include their own virtual offices.
Is this something the mods can answer, or am I going to have to track down TxBrew himself?
