Completely run by volunteers? They are sure doing an excellent job!

Yes, completely run by volunteers, it's a hobby. phpBB software is release for free, and is free, and will always be free.

EXCELLENT! I recently recommended phpBB to some of my customers.

Welcome to free software....

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

phpBB
Drupal
Joomla
WordPress
Linux (!)
Mozilla
and many thousands of others...

All free --- all created by community contributions. What's more you and I are free to do what we want with them. Many of them make money -- many people around them make money because of them.

Expect the iceberg to continue growing... and growing...

What is it our business if the creators and team members of phpBB make money? Where I come from, its rude to ask people how much money they make.

Who, in the team, owns.. or is responsible for the servers? are they located at a house, or are they at some building full of other servers?

They're located at OSUOSL. BartVB hosts area51.
