Why PhpBB2 ?
Hello

The brave ones own the world...
I prefer to use far better and secure IPB, I know it isn't free now but...
Some time ago, there was LAST FREE AND LEGAL version of it available for download on the producer's site, it is IPB V2.0.0 TRIAL but - it has no any limitations and even todays it is legal.
I am using it on both my forums for quite a long time ago and I am more than happy about it
Today this version isn't downloadable LEGALLY but Invision staff says: "if somebody downloaded it from our site when it was available, it can be legally used as long as you want "
Of course I have downloaded it from their site long time ago
P.S. I was using PhpBB2 for some time in the past but it has only about 7% of IPB's functionality and performance possibilities.

How did you work out the 7% figureKeMoT wrote: P.S. I was using PhpBB2 for some time in the past but it has only about 7% of IPB's functionality and performance possibilities.
performance wise, phpbb2 is fine. There have been no issues with speed with the current amount of visitors.
When I set up the forum, Invasion power board was commercial. Also, as teh free version you refer to probably does not get security updates, it is likely to be less secure than a well updated phpbb.
Sorry to dig up such an old topic, but I was wondering. Now that phpbb3 is released have you considered migrating this forum to it?
I've just done a couple of forum migrations from 2 to 3 and it is a very smooth process. phpbb3 offers a much more polished forum environment and is nicer to use. It also contains better security and is more configurable.

You got your posh new forum. Please reply with ideas/changes to http://www.exotica.org.uk/forum/viewtop ... =14&t=1450. I'm not happy with the drop down menus really yet and im thinking to get rid of the rounded corners.
