And what? Many software forums use the same engine - SMF (Simple Machines Forum).
May the FOSS be with you!

I have the McAfee SiteAdvisor add-on for Firefox and when I open the site/forum that the OP mentioned it was flagged as red with further details saying "When we tested this site we found links to ourtoolbar.com, which we found to be a distributor of downloads some people consider adware, spyware or other potentially unwanted programs".  See this>>>http://i27.tinypic.com/1z5573s.jpg.

Yes, it is just using the same SMF format.

As Cromwell posted, too bad that forum is linked to bad sites.
