I read its review on a good blog...but from that I am of opinion that phpBB is now a bloat...
As it is adding features after 4 years...
There are some useless features like showing search engine spiders in the users present section while the googlebot is crawling and like that...

i am not sure whether u have ever set up a forum or not ..... the thing phpbb is not adding after 4 years it has constantly upgraded itself with 2.020 released a couple of months ago and there are professional phpbb coders who have coded features to phpbb from way back to version 2.0.6 and even before .... phpbb 3 is being developed by end users who use phpbb on their sites and are professinal coders

No sir,you have misinterpreted me...phpBB is one of the best forum CMS around but I mentioned the 4 years is this time major improvements are being done.
All these years they have upgraded,i think they improved the security by releasing patches.

NO,i havent installed phpBB by myself but i have tried and admined it while experimenting....

Actually there are many better alternatives to phpBB in the Opensource world itself
