A CMS Forum is a Content Management System for creating discussion forum websites. In my opinion, forum-based websites are the embryo of the social networking sites that are currently popular among netizens. Because on forum sites, we interact with many other users. Traditional forum CMSs like phpbb, MyBB, SMF, etc., and premium versions like Xenforo and VBulletin are also widely used by many website developers because they each have their own advantages.
