(TECHNICAL)What Web Engine does this forum use to run?

I'm a web designer and at first I really liked the UI of the website! I thought it was super well made but as of late I've been on a nostalgia trip going back to some old forums I used to go on and to my surprise, they have almost an identical UI to this one!

I'm now on the hunt to know the tech stack of this website! Is anyone familiar?

wow
any new technologies in web area?
What I knew were still HTML, JavaScript or JQuery
In the past decade, people spent more time on mobile APP in regrads to iOS/Android.
Too many for my taste T-T
There's always a new JavaScript framework like phone models. Fortunately nowadays you can make mobile apps with hybrid technology (native and web components) so you can write a base with JavaScript, CSS and HTML or JSX that works like a normal web page or a mobile app. Even with Electron you can make desktop applications with web technologies (Discord, Spotify, Whatsapp are some examples). There's a cheap way to make multiplatform apps called PWAs (Progressive Web Apps), they are basically "apps" running inside a web container "simulating" being an native app (you can recognize them checking the bar search at the top of the browser, there's an option to download the site's app) but "thanks" to Apple, PWAs lost compatibility in their devices for "security" reasons. Of course nothing compares to make applications with native technologies, but these kind of technologies reduces costs, so you can make functional multiplatform apps using web basis.
Now the frontend is more complicated in my opinion than the back (managing routes, dynamic information, business rules/logic), and with a lot of frameworks it's difficult to make a choice, so just choose one and hope it still gets maintenance in the future (hold on Vue.js 😖).
And I think it's kinda popular Server Side Rendering (the server renders all the visual content, so the backend can send the views (using Laravel or Next.js I guess), but I don't like it, I prefer that the client makes that rendering (like always xd).
Like everything in the computers area, the web suffers over engineering, so starters or even seniors likely want to kill flies with cannons (make static pages with frameworks, use libraries and jQuery for everything, when you can use vanilla JavaScript).
Web development became really powerful nowadays; there's web versions of code editors, image editors, AI chatbots, and some games written with just JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
I'm still a junior (doing poorly mid activities for time xd) so probably I made some mistakes or I forgot to clarify something important, so any corrections are welcome 😅 .

wow
I am outdated man hahaha
When I graduated from university, I participated a project which was a factory attendance system developed by ASP (Yes, that was ASP not ASP.net you can image how old it was)

Moreover,I hate desktop application which is actually a browser simulator.
That sucks.
My mom and I obsessed in a game 20 years ago it was embeded in a browser that was a Flash game actually.
Flash game is a historical name for youth.

So does video game
I heard from social media how Switch2 handles compatibility for Switch1games.
There exits a partially simulator inside Switch2.

I can think of new consoles in future that they will develop more simulators as they are currently using AI to improve resolution or frame rate.

Just complaining above😂
