![]() ![]() In BBS, users are posters among other posters, whereas in newer social media users have their own personal page. ![]() Although they serve some of the same functions, they also have their differences. I also agree that BBS and other social media can coexist. That's not important, either, just as long as everyone understands the terms the same way. The term just wasn't around 15 years ago (AFAIK). And I agree, the title should be about BBS in general, not just phpBB, but that's not of utmost importance.Īlthough social media as a term usually refers to Facebook and the like and not BBS, I agree that BBS are social media, too. They may then move back to FB or twitter or whatever to share that info but they have to find it first and one of the most likely places for quality content is on forums around the world. If that information is available on a bulletin board then that is where they will go for it. Remember, when someone uses their phone to search for information for something, they click on the links provided. If you create a board and can not seem to get anyone to visit then that is most likely going to be because you don't have content that is of interest to many people and /or you have not figured out how to let them know you are there. have made a dent, but I dont think it is a huge dent yet. I am sure that smf and others are still being installed in similar numbers as well. as far as I know, phpbb is still downloaded and installed many thousands of times a day. If that was true, then I would expect the number of forum installations to have been drastically reduced. MySpace may not have the community we or other projects have, and therefore it's online but DEAD, so staying on topic would be better than finding flaws in texts. The whole point of this thread is to try and get your perspective on HOW it can evolve to meet nowadays requirements. Just because I'm alive doesn't mean I'm breathing, and by dead I didn't mean the development or engagement but the amount of websites we see nowadays using forums and specifically phpBB has decreased not because it got worse, but simply because other options are available. You were trying to be smart and was only looking for stupid flaws in my text while barely giving your opinion on the matter like david63 and kaspir did. Facebook and Myspace exist since 2004, WhatsApp exists since 2009, phpBB since 2000, FTP since 1971. While the last one was indeed a fashion thing it is also a good example on how fast hypes can vanish again.
