Is it worth for me to install phpBB?

Post by obvious94 »

I run this website which is a non-profit review based website.

Basically I review all kind of products and services on danish. We call it "anmeldelsesplatform", however I don't know if it would be worth it to install phpBB. It is currently a wordpress website, and I really want to customize some specific details.

The website is: *link deleted*

One thing I am especially looking for is a chat system or a forum system. I don't have much knowledge within the phpbb software. So any advice would be appreciated.

  • phpBB has a better security record than WordPress will ever have. Writing all your articles in a bulletin board system (aka "forums")
  • phpBB can be installed unrelated to any existing software - you can still continue using your WordPress installation. Or not. And vice versa.
  • No, it doesn't have a chat, but instead private messages (which work like board bound emails).
In case you haven't read it already: you can even test the software entirely without needing to install it:

*Test board is generated automatically and is only available for an hour after it is created. Once this time limit is reached, the data is purged. Please note that the demo is linked to your IP address; you will not be able to share your test board with other individuals. Default username/password: administrator/administrator
