I do use, —occasionally— because of development of themes for clients that are still using phpbb2 and don’t wanna bother to upgrade their boards. Aside from that I don’t think anyone should use outdated platforms.
Out of curiosity has there been any third party updates? I know before the release of phpBB3 Acydburn did an in house audit of phpBB2 code for the last release.
Hi, nice job for the great work. I was trying to install phpBB2.0.23 unofficially updated to 2.0.25, but I couldn't, the host used MySQL db version 5.7 and 8.0 (tested both), i tested all versions of php up to 7.4.33 and not works, it gives error, on the install page what Database Type: should be used? 3.x.x? 4.x/5.x? what requieres are to install, how can i install that?

it has a lot of updates and runs well in php7.4. I updated it about a year ago to support a client project. some code has been updated for php8.3 but nothing that breaks php7 compatibility. I dropped the ancient social platforms and added the current generation of social media platforms and added a few responsive styles.
I did get phpBB3.0.14 running on php8.3 though. https://github.com/IntegraMOD/phpbb3.0.15
it has a few updates as well such as captchas and responsive templating. Some of the acp and prosilver responsive updates came from phpBB3.3x and I added the ever popular "dark mode" to prosilver and IM Blue
Only remaining issue is that if mysql is setup with sql_mode=only_full_group_by then ego search will error. It does not like "SELECT *"
