Decline of phpBB.com
I still think that phpBB (the software itself) is great for the most part, but it is hard to deny the decline of phpBB.com. Yes, it's at night during the summer, but I am the only human registered human online right now, and it's not like it's an American-centric board either.

I love that a bot appropriated Majestic 12 for its own use.

Legend has it that the bot is there to alert the government if one posts UFO evidence.WolfofWords wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 1:04 pm I love that a bot appropriated Majestic 12 for its own use.
In all seriousness, it’s some sort of SEO service to help webmasters better promote their sites.

Re: Decline of phpBB.com
Yeah, I googled it and most of the results were "How do I block this danged thing?". Apparently, sometimes it can be a resource hog.Random American wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 2:46 pmLegend has it that the bot is there to alert the government if one posts UFO evidence.WolfofWords wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 1:04 pm I love that a bot appropriated Majestic 12 for its own use.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with UFOs or the number 51 in any way.

Well, this is pointlessly escalatory.

Re: Decline of phpBB.com
This would be a way-down-the-road thing, and would cost time and money, but it would probably make sense to fork phpBB into something more useful.

Re: Decline of phpBB.com
Interestingly enough, david63 actually agrees with you that phpBB should be forked. So does 3Di, who is a former team member who got banned recently.
