Webcrossing
WebCrossing, also known as Webx forum software, Webx, and Web Crossing, is an object-oriented, scriptable web-based collaboration server with forums, post-by-email, built-in web server, email server, and an FTP server. It includes a native object-oriented NoSQL database and server-side scripting.
The purpose of WebCrossing is to drive internet forums, social networks, and Web 2.0 applications. It differs from phpBB and other forum engines in that it includes (1) a native object-oriented NoSQL database, (2) built-in servers for HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, NNTP, and other protocols. Server-side JavaScript allows for overwriting existing features and adding new web applications and features. It is the main program at the Eldis Communities website, as well as at edWeb.net.
It is highly customizable via control panels and scripting, is very reliable, has built-in cluster support for large-scale growth, and has a convenient user interface.[1] It allows easy differentiation between registered users and guests. It was originally designed by Lundeen & Company.[2]
The Webcrossing product line was acquired in March 2013 by Elliptics Ltd.[3]
