phpBB is a very popular free forum software, plus it's been around for about 20 years now. What are your thoughts on phpBB? Have you ever used it before? When I started getting into making forums I picked Forumotion for my host and they use phpBB. TBH I feel that setting up permissions for phpBB is a pain, and can be confusing for those new to making forums. I also feel that it gets hacked easily, and spam prevention seems to be difficult to maintain on phpBB too. It's definitely my least favorite free forum software.
