since I don't like modern looking websites, you can probably take a good guess what style I'll use
You may not have any choice if you want the features that will be in future versions.

I like the Idea of PhPBB getting up to date as far as security etc, But People are so accustomed to prosilver that i just dunno....
then theres people that like to be able to use Board3 as their front page...(Now if I only knew how to program, and add custom modules...)
If at first you don't succeed, Sky diving is not for you....

Do you think there will be phpBB-3 holdouts in a similar vain to PhpBB-2 Refugees?
I think that there may well be - but how long the majority will holdout is another question. My guess is that there will be a lot of users still using phpBB 3 for a good couple of years if for no other reason that they will be waiting for extensions/styles to be developed.

there are still a lot of phpbb2 users out there. there are still a lot of phpbb 3.0 users out there, etc. etc.
so yes, there will be 3.3 users for years after 4.0 is released.

I'm baaaaaccckkkk. still doing work on donation basis. PM your needs.
It's a question to which the answer for just about any phpBB user is :YES
There will certainly be users who will use it : I know I will, but that doesn't imply that people are doing to stick with it (if you consider it a "style").
I'm not following the development but it's like asking a Win311 user whether he will use Win95. Either the user will stick with MS, in which case sooner or later he will have to use it, or he'll move to another OS depending on the experience.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
