I know that it is running on a custom version of SMF 1.1.*(19?) As per the footer;

Code:

Powered by SMF 1.1.19 | SMF © 2006-2009, Simple Machines 

SMF i think is primarily written in PHP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Machines_Forum

SMF is written in the popular language PHP and uses a MySQL database.

I'm not entirely sure if Bitcointalk also uses MySQL as primary DB, since this is all heavily modified. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case though.


The new forum however is supposedly using AngularJS. (One could argue that that is also already pretty dated, since Angular 2 basically made JS obsolete (It's on LTS already.).

You can see the progess of the "new" forum software here, https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk

Isn't it great. It comes from the days when people wrote text, and other people read it. That's much better than the kaleidoscope of images and mindless music that seems to pass as modern communication.

And gifs, you forgot the gifs ;-) As a side note ... a completly new version of the forum is already being tested, but I dont know any release date.

Where to see the smf? It is located at the bottom of the forum wether you reply, post, or search for topics. Since the bitcointalk used the smf software you can find it here about the SMF https://www.simplemachines.org/about/smf/.

Agree, looks plain and elegant to me. Loads quickly on my browser , not like other sites that take some time or my computer resources.
Navigation is fast and not as such distracting ads.
Anyways, importance of statement does not increase or decrease by look and feel of site.
