     @vaartis@pl.kotobank.ch At least it is free software and self hostable. But I do gotta admit the software is quite ass compared to good old classic phpBB.

     @vaartis@pl.kotobank.ch Customization is good. It's why we like free software.

     @SuperDicq I guess at least it's that. I like phpBB mostly because everyone customized it a lot. phpBB is ass too but in an endearing old granny way

     @sun@shitposter.world @vaartis@pl.kotobank.ch If you want post-modern forum slop that is not Discourse you can also use Flarum (at least it still uses PHP), but this also requires javascript just like Discourse.

     @sun@shitposter.world @vaartis@pl.kotobank.ch phpBB is good and modern. Discourse is post-modern javascript aids.

     @SuperDicq @vaartis @sun I'm on private sites I know few of the forums looks like something from the 2000s others look like 2010s stuff. I don't understand hosting websites and if I did know no one would look at it

     @Ree@shitposter.world @vaartis@pl.kotobank.ch @sun@shitposter.world PHP is just a programming language and any website, new and old can be written using it. "phpBB" is the name for a specific forum software project.

     @SuperDicq @vaartis @sun maybe today I can see if it says PHP or whatever but I'm not talking to the sysops because admins on sites like those can suck and aren't well mannered.
