phpBBModders.net

Olympus Beta 1 has ben released at phpbb.com We advise not to use it in a live environment but DO check it out. its nice and funky and is a lot simpler to use. installation is much more noob-proof and the admin cp is a bit simpler. The Developers have really outdone themselves and if there is a phpBB4 i will be amazed.

Don't think so phpbb4 will be out so soon, maybe in the future. But I don't dare to think so far away. Yes, it is indeed much more better than phpbb2 and also I feel that the template has improved a lot than the phpbb2 template. What more can I say?

I hope the template is as easy to use as that in the phpBB2 case. I hate a lot of other scripts because their template system is harder to work on. I love modding everything in my forums, so I do need those tpl files.

I will wait till it becomes stable and then I might consider upgrading my forums. Still I have a lot of mods, so I need to be able to upgrade safe

has some great features

Well i'm not using it on a live board (yet), because it's still under development. It isn't finished yet...

well i think phpBB is upping its game, and trying to compete more with rivals such as VBulletin, as phpBB has always been marked to be used with small forums [although this was proved wrong] but i much prefer my v2.0.x

phpBB !== vBulletin

The two will never be the same, there's no point in "competing" with something that is paid. If people want to pay for something like vBulletin they will anyway, regardless of the rest of the market.

If you like phpBB, use phpBB, if you don't there are plenty of alternatives out there.

And "small forums"? /me points to Gaia
