Techopedia Explains Beehive Forum

One unique aspect of Beehive Forum is how it places the components of a forum on the screen. In Beehive Forum, discussion titles are on the left and posts are on the right. This allows for a more expansive view of individual posts, with their own tags and avatars, etc.

Beehive Forum also has certain proprietary features, including a relationship system (similar to Facebook, but different) where users can raise their opinions about other posters. There is also a polling system built into the platform.

Reviews of Beehive Forum have called it a good resource for DIY forum hosting, and reviewers have noted the full range of features built into this platform. It is a common choice for setting up forums in a straightforward way with limited hosting resources.
