Community Server is a full-featured forum system that is integrated into a content management system. It includes a gallery, file management, blogs and a portal system. Everything is developed in ASP.NET programming language. Because of that you need to be running on a Microsoft IIS web server with .NET 1.1 or 2.0 and Microsoft SQL Server. Monthly web hosting costs for this setup are slightly more expensive than the typical LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) solution. And more than that if you’re running on a Windows server platform you should be comfortable programming in .NET. Another big problem of any Microsoft product (software developed in .NET included) is that there are bugs with Safari and with Firefox. What I really liked on Community Server is the user interface (both users and administrators). I have to admit, is a bit slow but I was really impressed by its presentation.

The above can be more wrong
This is a professional grade system, and its price show it. If you would like to host it your self it runs over 20k. However if you would like to run a professional service for millions of users this is a good choice.
I'm not a lover of the platform, however, its a good platform.
Architecture should be 10 out of 10
performance should be 10 out of 10
Adoption should be a 10 out of 10 for professional grade sites.
