What Q&A Forum Platform Does SEOmoz Use?

[SEOPA]

Yeah, I should have clarified. I meant the community forum that we're interacting on right now.

Yeah, it's all pretty much right. I believe the RoR token is likely for the Web App. It won't detect cakephp though, because it's a server-side framework and will therefore execute prior to the page being being returned to a browser. That said, I'm actually surprised it detected RoR.

Actually the main site is built with CakePHP but Q&A is not. This is built in Ruby.

Q&A is completely custom built in Ruby. Thanks!

[SEOPA]

Thanks! I should have clarified. I meant the community forum that we're interacting on right now -- is that all custom on Ruby too?

[RyanKent]

Q&A = the community forum we are interacting on right now, so yes.

[DonnieCooper]

wow, really? awesome! Does it make it harder to have different platforms... or will you guys be switching the main site over to RoR someday?

Thanks Jen!

[jennita]

Exactly.

It does make it difficult to have multiple platforms, I'll have to ask a dev though about whether we're planning on moving it all to RoR. I believe PRO is actually built on a different platform even, oy!

Ha -- SEOmoz should offer a license/white-label of the forum technology. I'm sure there are many others (have not shopped yet) but I like this one.

haha thanks!
