I wouldn't say phpBB is dead, its latest release is from February of this year. On the other hand, unless you're already a participant on such a forum, you just might have trouble finding it in today's search hellscape.
- the_af 3y agoMaybe it's just my experience. Every phpbb community I was part of moved years away to Facebook, Reddit or (now) Discord. Some of the forums linger on, almost completely deserted by their former users :/
- Johnythree 3y agoMy favorite phpBB forums staggered along for many years but eventually collapsed. The problem was the original maintainers had long sense expired, and each new phpBB release caused cascading bugs and became unmanageable. That and the increasing cost of running the servers, and the lack of backups and general maintenance. The loss of these forums was real tragedy. So many thousands of priceless contributions from the original guru's has now been lost forever.
