In other words, it's bespoke software, specially written to support BOINC projects.

It has some special features not found elsewhere, like links to the BOINC databases of scientific research undertaken, and - while it has some features similar to social media sites - it probably has fewer social features than most other modern forum software. It's free and open source, so there is nothing to stop you using it separately from the rest of the BOINC server software (though you would still need the BOINC MySQL database layer) - but you might find it was as hard to remove the science linkages as it was to configure an alternative forum.

Addendum, the forum software as it runs on the BOINC forums here is a bit different from that of any project, wherein it doesn't have all the links into the databases, as we don't have credit or anything scientific around here.

I'm sure that if you email Dr. Anderson that he can tell you in detail how to set it up like this.

I use phpBB, though it's by no means a high-traffic board. But, the software has lots of available plugins and other resources. It's probably the most popular one out there.
