I have seen lot's of forums / community sort of websites that use what seems to be the exact same program(or whatever you wanna call it) for their forum and so I wondered if anybody knew what is was. e.g.: community.letsencrypt.org forum.level1techs.com

>>573116 They're called 'internet forum software' AFAIK. There are lots of them (vBulettin and bbPress comes to mind immediately) and plenty of them are open source which allows for self-hosting.

Oh man I used to be a forum nerd years ago.
It's called either forum/bulletin board/message board software. Back in the days phpBB and its forks were probably the most common. Also vBulletin, InvisionFree, Zetaboards, Simple Machines and probably a couple I don't remember.
They kinda died after social media killed off most message boards. Tapatalk and Discourse are kind of the modern incarnations.
