Any of you seen it's German Site (I'm not German): http://www.phpbb3.de

Anyway, there is a demo board established of it here: http://www.m3xvv.co.uk/phpbb3/index.php

Tell me your thoughts on it, I love how you can make sub-forums now and all. This is just a beta, but I'm getting it when it comes out for my iPod forums I will be making.

Yeah, but does it come pre-installed with database errors?

Probably a few bugs in it, if you want to download it and try it out (the beta), here is the link:

phpBB3 Beta

But you should just wait till the full released debugged version comes out so you don't have any bugs in your forums.

People have to stop with the big bulky forums. PunBB all the way.

Nah, I checked out PunBB last night hoping to see something good, but to tell the truth:

S.U.C.K.

It sucks . . . .

phpBB isn't big and bulky, it's the perfect free forum. Other than free, vBulletin beats them all!

Just a note - the PHPBB 3 beta is not out yet (information at http://area51.phpbb.com), so if you click that link you could be downloading anything!

Amorya
What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

No, it works, someone gave it to me here:

http://www.cwhnetworks.com/forums/in...&st=0&

It's where I found the site and a guy set up a Demo board and gave me the file. Trust me, I don't like Viruses, Spyware, and Adware as much as everyone else!

Why does it suck? Its lightweight, simple, and fast. No ********. I am not trying to get into a fight or anything but really would be curious to hear why you think it sucks.

Well, the statistics are very plain and too small (should show more info). I don't like the design of it, and some of the skins I saw for it sucked. I just don't like it is all, no arguement.
