Switching from Mybb to Woltlab - tc4me - May 3rd, 2023

Hey guys, I've now switched to a purchased forum software, all times in a test run,
Although Mybb is freeware, it is simply too slow to develop. Alone the problem with php 8 ..., catastrophe, plus no progress for years for the next version, and Mobile isn't running either!

Test-Forum

I prefer classical style forums. Plus I get to keep all my beloved addons.

Still love MyBB, however:

Phorum is the gold standard, the original one, hehe!  https://forum.nginx.org/

For modern, mobile friendly software, Flarum is gaining a lot of attention, among MIT licence options  https://builtwithflarum.com/

All well and good, but in times like these you need a php8 and mobile capability

And reason 2: I actually wanted to improve some addons for Mybb with Darth, create ideas for php8 and in German. Unfortunately, Darth hasn't been here for weeks. I don't see a future in Mybb either,
