It's still just so hard to take them serious...
I had a double-take when I read that too. :)
Hya,
PHPBB has been running on Ozzu forums for as long as I can remember with no problems. Why do you two not like it?
I don't like it because its murder to theme.
:(
phpBB has a longstanding history of being compromised/targetted over the years. It was a nightmare for hosts and may still block installations of it today.
I'm not saying it's not completely different nowadays but historically it was not the safest option to be running.
I shan't install it I just wondered so thanks for that Jason!
:)
I'm not saying you can't -- it may be a much safer/better option today than it was long ago. Those are just the reasons I personally have for why it's not my favorite option out there.
;D
Nonono Jason, I love SMF far too much.. ;D
