We are very happy to announce the release of phpBB 2.0.23, the "still furry as hell" edition.

It's still just so hard to take them serious...

[Jason]

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.

[Jason]

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.

[dania]

I shan't install it I just wondered so thanks for that Jason!

[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.

Nonono Jason, I love SMF far too much..
