Can someone explain to me what PhpBB 3.0 is? Is it just software to start up a BBS?

A miserable little pile of security holes.

Use SMF instead. (Or Kareha, if you can bear to be without essential features like avatars and stickies.)

phpBB is a messageboard software.

this is a random board that uses it:

of course, you can make/change the skins for the message board to customize the look to whatever you like but that's what it does. >>2 is right, thought, SMF (http://www.simplemachines.org/) is the better option. It's more secure ect.

What, they're still developing it? Holy crap. I wonder if the database still explodes after a while due to referential integrity fuckups.

Why are so many people still using phpBB 2.x for new boards? Does 3.0 suck worse? (How could it possibly?)

>>5 i would say that phpBB 3 is brand new thing, and all the forums that run on v. 2 have their textures and all the customisations needed, and do not need any change.

if i was going to make a phpBB forum right now for a random community, eg. not any "requirements" to forum theme etc, i would choose phpBB 3. otherwise, i'd pick up version 2

i forgot to mention that "if i had no other options than phpBB (there are tons of better systems though)
