I just noticed this:
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/new-forums-software-online.48495/
The FreeBSD Forums Administration team just upgraded the forum software
from phpBB to Xenforo.
They migrated 260,000 messages......wow, this is a huge achievement!

Xenforo is nice stuff, so hopefully more FreeBSD core developers can take
advantage of the
forums, in addition to the traditional mailing lists.
