Anyone wants to run a web forum with me?
I'm thinking of somewhere where we could talk about our projects, get inspired by others' work and generally keep eachother sane.
It's probably a bad idea but...

@q3k I built this 'Virtual HackForge' thing a few months back at https://vhf.dragonhive.net which has (matrix-backed) chat, a forum, a project gallery, tool library and much more. it's opensource and anyone can host it. though it should be said i did use a fair amount of LLM assistance to create it, even though it's got a completely decoupled architecture (so it's easy to remove parts) and made a lot of unit tests and such. but haven't really dared to advertise it so far

@anthropy That's a super cool concept! But it's not what I'm really looking for, I want a damn 00's/10's forum.

@q3k that's definitely a mood, good old phpBB and such!
I wonder if there are modern comparable alternatives to it. I wouldn't mind helping with it honestly, I'm a bit busy and all over the place, but I'm happy to help where I can

@anthropy The software hasn't gone away, you can still just host phpBB or even (over)pay for IPB (https://invisioncommunity.com/buy/self-hosted/).

@q3k seems like there are a lot of other options still alive as well: https://alternativeto.net/software/phpbb/?license=opensource&platform=self-hosted
it's neat to see these still living 10-20 years later lol, I recall playing with a lot of these, like Vanilla, SMF, MyBB, NodeBB, etc
