Quantopian forum software?

I am wondering what forum software does Quantopian use? It is actually quite nice.

Q made this forum code I believe. Edit: Oop, Mr Bredeche answered while I was writing this.

3/2018: Anyone miss upvotes? Like, "likes"? I do. Arguably it might help them know what concerns us most. Although, Reddit has them and that turns into kind of a say-what-might-be-upvoted-thing for some people, maybe because downvotes also exist there. Twitter dropped their thumbs-down button, good move. Stackoverflow still has them, not good, although, incredible resource. Not sure about Facebook as I left there years ago (something felt wrong). I do use the thumbs-up button on Youtube for both videos and comments sometimes.

Has it been open sourced? Plans?

Hi vladimir,
We haven't open-sourced it and we don't have plans to do so right now. Given the many open-source alternatives for forum software, the effort involved would be better spent on other features and initiatives.

Thanks
Josh
