Is this the Drupal Forum module?

Could somebody tell me which drupal module is this site using: http://gallery.menalto.com/forum

Also could somebody tell me how it'd be if I use it on my new site for forum discussion for 2000 people daily? I'm looking for simple discussion forum with following functionality:

• Easy maintenance
• I should be able to easily remove spammy user posts
• Some sort of spam prevention.

I'd be using Drupa开发者_开发百科l-6 and not 7.

Yes, the link you provide is the Drupal forum.

Drupal isn't exactly famous for its forum - some sites even use third party forums which are bridged to Drupal.

Nonetheless, the most "direct" and easy-to-maintain forum for Drupal would probably be Drupal itself.

You can use Mollum for spam prevention.

The third-party forums primarily distinguish themselves in offering granular privileges to moderators of specific forums. If you don't need this, I'd stick with the Drupal forum module.

Notice also Erik Ahlswede's answer here - in addition to the standard Drupal Forum, it appears to be running the Advanced Forum module, which provides some of the extra functionalities - however, as Michele notes, it this isn't actually the Advanced Forum module, it's some hacks which provide similar functionalities.

No, they aren't using Advanced Forum. They are using Drupal's forum but heavily customized. They customized their forum before AF even existed, back in D5. If their changelog is accurate, they haven't upgraded.

That said, if you want a site that looks like that, AF will get you pretty close. With 2K people daily, do you mean visitors or active posters? One thing you need to watch out for is performance as Drupal's forum has a couple nasty queries and AF has them as well since it builds on top.

For a bit of trivia... I actually came to Drupal when looking for something to let me add text to my Gallery 2 site and their forum was an inspiration for AF in the early days. :)

That may be the Advanced Forum module. It extends Drupals core module and adds ways to create forum themes.
