Orca Interactive Forum Script is an interactive Web-based forum script that is based on AJAX technology,
In the world of accelerating technologies you dont want archaic forum software. You want something new, fresh, classy, stylish and sexy - just like Orca.
Orca introduces a new approach to building online discussion boards. The main focus in Orca is given to self-moderation - it provides tools to build a community without -moderators or administrators. It gives true freedom.
Main features:
AJAXy
- AJAX is cool and trendy, but whats more important - it makes web apps work better. Orca is an AJAX forums script, using AJAX exactly where it should be used. This brings unique user experiences and considerable server load savings.
Self-ruling
- Forums need close attention to run smoothly. Orca doesnt. We built Orca as a self-moderated community script, which can work effectively without any moderators whatsoever. This is the main difference, and Orca will be getting better at it.
Integratable
- You might already have a website, and it might already have a good database of users. Orca is remarkably easy to integrate with your existing user database. You just add it to your site, and it accepts existing members with their photos and passwords.
GPL-licensed
- Free community needs a free forum script. Orca is completely free, open-source and free in terms of licensing. It is distributed under GPL license, which should uncover its potential and make it #1 forum software on the net.
Enhancements:
- This release added a live post tracker, "Sticky" topics, an advanced WYSIWYG post editor, a "Reply with quote" option, and wider support for hosting setups.
