Oratio - What is it?

Introduction

Oratio is a revolutionary, simple, lightning fast, customizable and intelligent forum hosting service. It can be extended for supporting chats, collaborative to-do lists, file and website hosting with the Montreus CDN, themes and modules(plugins). It is so customizable that you can disable the forum functions and use it only for a website with Node.js server-side scripts.

Why?

As of the moment this was written, there was no significant concurrency aside Vanilla Forums. Our system will include virtual points, a concept already applied to a few forums on the internet, such as StackExchange however not publicy available. Also, Vanilla is way too complicated for the average computer user wanting a forum.

Our System

Our system is based on Node.js and for this is lightning fast. It uses PostgreSQL for persistent storage, and has advantages of safe, relational storage and takes advantage of PostgreSQL’s special and unique data types and exceptional speed for a relational datastore.
