The internet and the way people use it has changed rapidly since the time phpBB2 was made which was back in April 2002. Nowadays people set out to hack and cause damage and even code bots to crawl the internet to hack and find exploits. phpBB's newest release (phpBB3) was really built with security in mind and features second unlike phpBB2...more

phpBB is a very popular widely used forum software that has millions of installation all over the internet. phpBB has had a bad reputation for quite a few years as many people always think of phpBB being un-secure and not safe to use.

One of the greatest things about phpBB is that you ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes it’s nice to gather a group of people with similar interests into one place and get everyone to interact. It doesn’t matter if this is down at the pub, at someone’s house or even on the World Wide Web, a great deal of fun can be had discussing your mutual interests with others. On the Internet there are many ways to accomplish this. The more technically minded might fancy Newsgroups where practically anything can be discussed if you can find the correct Newsgroup. On the Web, there are loads of different websites, messageboards and tools that can be used such as YAHOO, Google and, more than likely, your favourite website on whatever your preferred ...  Read the complete review
