What is this forum for?

I look forward to 4.0 and the hard work that is going to be put into it. I also agree 100% with what jwxie said.

Great, this time I will stay close if the development to try if some ideas.

Success!

There are some initial ideas up on our wiki. You can find them here: http://wiki.phpbb.com/PhpBB4. Feel free to add stuff to the wiki. If there's something that requires discussion post it on here and we'll put the result of such a discussion on the wiki.

http://wiki.phpbb.com/PhpBB4 is not working!

I suppose when they get this one is developed there take and do to phpbb3 what they did to phpbb2
Dump it and with tthe tuff cookies attitude as we are not longer supporting phpbb 3 series!

How is that any different than any other software that gets updated?

The decision to drop support for phpBB 2 was not done overnight. Users had a long time to do their upgrades before we stopped supporting it. And with the poor security record that 2.0 had it would be irresponsible of both us and the users to continue both supporting and using it.

AFAIK, 3.1 and 3.2 will be coming before phpBB4. So there's still plenty of life left in phpBB3.

But it was stated that support ( was going to continue) which it did not
asfar as security issues do you truly believe that you will ever create something that does not have them ?

It was not stated that support would continue indefinitely. No product can be supported forever. When we did decide to drop support, users were given almost 9 months advance notice. This has been long discussed at phpbb.com and is not the purpose of this topic.
