Forum engines

Interestingly, among the subscribers of the hubs "CMS", "Hosting" and "PHP" - a very large intersection of the audience.



Therefore, for readers of my two previous notes ( I , II ), another chapter is proposed, which is related to both CMS and PHP.
The same notes explain, and what kind of column is “Other.”

We analyzed what is popular with us: for example, the code for defining the forums FlashBB, stokesit and podium is now commented out, because there are no such forums in Runet.

And since almost all of the mentioned forum engines use the PHP language, you can enrich the table with an indication of the databases used.

These and other reports demonstrate not only the superiority of one system over another, but also examples of “behavioral economics”, when decisions can be made not from rational considerations, but from what is fashionable, accepted, studied, imposed ... in short, from a variety of motives, from noble to petty. When such reports are made by industry and market niches, they become more meaningful, but still this type of Internet statistics is still in search of itself.
