Tormater Forum is a PHP-based forum software licensed under the GNU General Public License. It is functionally similar to esoTalk and its derivative project esoBB however includes several out-of-the-box features, such as categories, that are not part of the esoTalk base code. It is a hobby project largely developed by one person with minor contributions being made from the creator's brother among others.
The forum software was created by tormater-yak, a notable figure in the Tormater community. Development began on March 2022 as a barebones forum project and was published on Github by November. Unlike esoBB, in which the primary use of the forum software is to serve geteso, the Tormater Forum primarily exists for discussing the continued development of the software.
Tormater Forum is the name of the support forum for the Tormater Forum software, bearing the same name as the software, and is currently hosted on forum.tormater.com. The Tormater homepage explains: "Tormater is a wide topic, encompassing many ideals, individuals, and concepts. We here at Tormater.com take Tormater very seriously—and we suggest you do too." The word Tormater has no apparent meaning other than in reference to the name of the software.
Over the course of the software's development, there have been numerous difficulties with avoiding security vulnerabilities, with particular regard to SQL injection. VegBao made several changes to the software that did not properly sanitize SQL queries thus leading to numerous follow-up commits from tormater-yak in order to properly sanitize them. Despite this, the forum software is considered to be reliable if premature; there is no clarification as to whether the software is meant to be used in production environments.
