Oxwall looks nice, but seems to fit under the category of social network software than forum software. I've seen many php scripts for social networks, how is Oxwall different from them? I did notice Oxwall has a forum section. I think what would be nice are the features of a social network (for example, BuddyPress on Wordpress) with the advanced features of premium forum like Xenforo.
I agree. I guess I've always been a fan of the simple, classic model for forums that has existed for a long time, so options such as Oxwall and especially discourse have never really stuck out to me. They aren't really based on a model that can easily be compared to forums.
