This site is an absolute joke. There is absolutely no reason to continue supporting/running 11-year-old forum software. Suck it up, grow up and move on to phpBB3. |

Well, 11 since the last official update. But phpBB 2.0 is still a fast and usable forum software, and not everything has to be optimized for mobile usage. |

I was looking for a rude smilie Dave but you haven't got any.
There must be many thousands of boards still running on phpBB2 as mine will continue to do until I fall off the perch.
I along with many others are grateful that this site continues to exist as it is the place to seek help.
I think that the fact that activity is low is testament to the ver 2 software.

Well, I'm on an 11 year happy-streack for not having upgraded to that buggy phpBB3 thingy. _________________ phpBB2 will never die, I hope! |

All hail the version which has not broken backwards compatibility with thousands of hours of work people have poured into it! _________________ Developer on EzArena, the ADR premod.

Isn't phpBB3 outdated as well anyway at this point? I would probably look more towards Flarum or Discourse if I wanted something modern. |

That's a great question, actually. If you were starting a new board today, what would you use? _________________ phpBBDoctor Blog |

I don't really think I'd be starting a board in this day and age. I don't see much of a reason for it. _________________ Developer on EzArena, the ADR premod.

if you want to have actual discussions with people then a bulliten board is still better than any of the newer so called social things.
if you do a search for information do you get search returns that include facebook posts, or tweets etc. ? I have not seen any of those types of search returns to speak of. I still get returns that are links to posts on bulletin boards and sometimes blogs etc.

I'm not saying it's not a better solution. I think we're all here because we agree on that.
I'm saying it's become too niche for me to spend the time to try to create a new community from scratch. _________________ Developer on EzArena, the ADR premod.

I have completely stopped keeping up with this area. Back in the day there was vBulletin and EZBoard and a number of other competitors in this space. Are they all gone? Have they moved to new technology? _________________ phpBBDoctor Blog |

SMF and MyBB are still using the classical internet forum design, while with vBulletin there are even 3 different generations maintained at the same time. |
