@babe I hosted a phpBB forum for years, and it remained up and running for years after I forgot the admin password to the server it was running on. Legendary.

@babe This is still my big unpopular take: if you demand all the latest features, then they have you.
We've gotta settle for independent and slightly rough around the edges, like fedi. Only 4 pictures at a time! Its a little inconsistent across platforms, ok?!

@unlofl I like the rough around the edges.
Some stuff I'm involved with is janky as hell and hasn't changed much in over 20 years, but it's part of its charm -

@babe
I still actively use a couple of surviving forums. Niche stuff, but alive and well, with 20 some years of post history. Then again, I never joined Facebook, so I guess I'm the weirdo. -

@teajaygrey @babe this article was written in 2012, there’s been a ton of improvements to PHP since then
Edit: after semi-skimming the article, the majority of complaints seem to be “PHP works differently than x language”… well yes, it’s a different language.
I am confused by all the references to “(int) is not a class”? Why would it be? It’s a primitive. -

@babe Even if I'm still not 100% on pivoting to IRC, forums desperately need to be more of a thing.

@babe I tried to convince a group leaving Facebook to just start a phpbb or other forum. They said it looked too old and people wouldn’t know what to do; so they moved to discord without me.
I hear they are struggling to figure out what to do now.
