Forum² Staff Shawn Posted October 8 Forum² Staff Posted October 8 What does everyone think about PhpBB? I have never really used version 3 before. I have been a member of forums that use it but have never been an admin of one. When I first started making forums, I used the very tail end of version 1, which was really old school. Then version 2 came out, and I mainly used it. I remember having to edit pages to add add-ons. You had to add and replace the code. It would take all day to add a big one and it was super easy to break your forum. I eventually went on to SMF or MyBB because I needed better ways to add addons. I'm wondering what everyone thinks about phpBB now? Here's a blast from the past: I used to try to make "social media" like communities before social media using a platform called Php-Nuke. It used a phpBB bridged forum for the forum feature of the platform. Anyone remember Php-Nuke? I actually kind of miss it!

Forum² Admin AWS Posted October 9 Forum² Admin Posted October 9 I did an import to Discourse for a test site. I had to make phpBB my stopover. What I seen I liked. If I were to start another community with free software it would think about it of myBB. Quote IPB Webmaster - For Invision Community Enthusiasts - SEO Help Forum
Forum² Staff Shawn Posted October 11 Author Forum² Staff Posted October 11 I've never used phpBB 3 as a forum owner. I might need to try it. I have ideas for forums that can grow at a very slow pace and already have domains available, haha. So it let's me the opportunity to test different software out again and for the first time on some. :) Quote My forums: Another Admin Forum | vBAdmins Forum | Off Topic Forum | The Hiking Forum
Forum² Admin AWS Posted October 11 Forum² Admin Posted October 11 It's pretty good for free. A ton of features. As soon as things stabilize with the power outages here I'll install a phpbb test site. 1 Quote IPB Webmaster - For Invision Community Enthusiasts - SEO Help Forum

You can see the northern lights here last night. While awesome, it does a number of communications equipment. You being a ham already know that I'm sure haha 1 Quote My forums: Another Admin Forum | vBAdmins Forum | Off Topic Forum | The Hiking Forum
PacMan Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Site is moving along well for me. If I start a site I would either use phpbb or mybb. That is a big if LOL. Quote
Immortal Posted November 4 Posted November 4 I am running a forum powered by phpbb for more than two years and I like it. However, when I started using it, I found it little complicated because I did not have any experience with this forum software Quote
