Special:Version lists Extension:DPLforum and "Forum" (Hyun Lim, Kyle Florence, Saipetch Kongkatong and Tomasz Odrobny). DPLforum is what is being used at Admin Central:Forum. I don't know what is being used on Special:Forum here. I assume it is the "Forum" software.

In some ways I prefer DPLforum because it uses the full edit toolbar with all the wikitext shortcuts. I prefer that because I can deal with complex questions about charts, and much more. Also, I always edit in source mode.

The edit toolbar on Special:Forum only has 5 tools. There are some interesting aspects to Special:Forum. The ability to choose sorting methods: "most recent" versus "most active in 7 days".

Since Wikia created "Forum" then Wikia can change it to do whatever Wikia wants with Special:Forum. Such as allowing a paragraph on the top of the forum hub.
