In other forum software, topics are called threads, not naming names here. Good practice to assume he means topics until told otherwise.
I'm not sure if it's tracked, but if you could get the date when a forum was created, you could make your own variables in a template event using some math, the current date, and that date.
If it's not, I'm sure there's some event that tracks when it was added, you can insert a column into the forums table tracking that date.

What do you mean by "threads", as phpBB does not have threads - topics or posts?
Sorry about that. I came from another forum software that named their discussions 'threads.' I mean topics.

Indeed you are correct for threaded boards but phpBB isn’t threaded it’s flat hence they are topics and not threads. Look at all the phpBB files with ‘topic’ in their names, there’s no mention of ‘thread’.
