I believe this is the JIVE program AMD uses for its Forums: https://www.jivesoftware.com/
JIVE has it disadvantages but JIVE has many advantages also.
1- JIVE maintains a Ratings for each User by giving them points and Rewards in various categories. This is an incentive to keep active at AMD Forums for Users that like that type of stuff. A feature that other Forums don't use or if they do use a similar feature it is very limited in scope.
2- With JIVE the Users are able to upload Images and links and Attach certain sized software or programs. Some Forums you are not able to upload images or attach files to a reply.
3- JIVE Notification system is similar to other Forums and is easy to send PMs to other Users or Moderators.
4- JIVE censorship could use some tweaking and not make it so restrictive. I needed to change the name of a Malware in a Article I uploaded because the Malware's name was a slang name that was considered to be derogatory in the past.
5- Also when JIVE turns a User's reply to be Moderated by one of the Moderators. It could be less restrictive and a better process of having the Moderator authorize the Reply faster. Something that I wished Nvidia GForce Forums has. That Forum is like the Wild West. Anyone can reply no matter how derogatory or insulting it is without censorship. Nvidia Code of Conduct is basically a Paper Tiger. worthless.
6- With JIVE you can edit or delete your Reply or Post in a thread. Many Forums don't have this feature.
EDIT: The above comments are just my personal observations and views.
