But yes i understand it of the view of the teams,
of course its hard to support a version that's run (or designed) on a unsupported PHP version, but i guess new its the time to let the users know that phpBB3 rocks even more than phpBB2 , but that's not a easy thing to let users know, some of them are insure what the must do, and i think the MODs and the styles give those users some headick that the don't want to lose that.

I mean, what's the point of PHP4 disappearing, it has been run on fewer and fewer servers that are running phpBB2?
I understand phpBB2 can´t be developed any further but why can it not even remained supported for more time?
I believe PHP was made for PHP4 and not for PHP5, and more of the web servers are using PHP5 , and not more PHP4, and after that the code is designed for PHP4.
This sudden, unexpected and abrupt ending of the whole phpBB2 story is far to cold-turkeyish for me.
You got the time until 2009 to switch to phpBB3
But just a question Dogs and things , are you not having plans before to switch to phpBB3 (before the announcement?)
