Oh wow, I really love this. PHPBB also comes to mind for this sort of style. https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewforum.php?f=551

Is there a name for this style? Im also trying to pinpoint the defining characteristics. The thing that stand out to me are:

- 3d-ish buttons

- gradients (headers, buttons, etc)

- not much whitespace between text

- small text

that style was prominent just as skewmorphism started to fall out of fashion and "web 2.0" was just becoming a buzzword.
