It's not only Wordpress. There's also Drupal, Joomla and the myriad of plugins written for them, as well as forums software like Vanilla, phpbb and vBulletin. Actually, I predict a resurgence in forum software popularity as more people realize Reddit is for suckers; there is of course Discourse, but that's like New Reddit, looks cool until you use it and realize it's kinda shit.
- kstrauser 4y agoThose are rounding errors compared to WordPress[0]. BTW, I'm neutral on WP. I've used it before and it was fine, but I don't work for Automattic or anything. I think it's the elephant in the PHP room, though. No one can claim that PHP is only used for WordPress, but I bet that the majority of PHP installations are there because that's what WP happens to be written in.

- the_only_law 4y agoI’ve thought about returning to old times and spinning up a phpBB site.
- ipaddr 4y agoSmf reminds me of old times. phpBB is still active.
- the_only_law 4y agoYeah, I just haven’t used one in over a decade. Most of the communities I used to use had one.
- xorcist 4y agoTry discourse with javascript disabled, much more usable.
