know. So, that works.
I run a phpBB forum for music fans in the UK. I found the software
needed a lot of customisation before I was happy with it, and at the
same time I didn't find the code base very easy to work with (with
apologies to the phpBB developers as it's a matter of taste, but I
prefer code to be in small functions rather than large functions or in
the global scope!)
The only technical forum I've regularly used based on phpBB was the
Gentoo forums, which I felt worked very well. The trick with any forum
is not to make more sub-forums than you definitely need, or you'll end
up with lots of quiet forums and nobody knows what belongs where.
We agree the code of phpBB 3.0.x isn't the best code ever and due to
this it is something that has improved dramatically in 3.1 (which is
currently nearing alpha).
Quite a few technical forums use phpBB -
https://www.phpbb.com/showcase/tag/open-source/ and
https://www.phpbb.com/showcase/tag/technology/
At phpBB, we do, as you'd expect, also use phpBB for development forums*
and it works well. People choose which discussions they follow and they
can choose to subscribe to certain topics/forums by email.It's a lot
easier to watch the topics you want and ignore those you don't care
about than on a mailing list. Also the reading through a topic is easier
on a forum than through an inbox or on Google groups web UI.
