Thank you @Guardian.
I've been quite impressed with the phpBB theming system honestly. It was inexcusably bad in earlier versions, but it's absolutely fantastic today. I was browsing the old ModX databases when flat file edits were required to install plugins and it was sort of nostalgic in a way (a lot of very nice mods were available back then, even though they required manual installation). The software has really come quite a long way in the past ~6 years.
Unfortunately phpBB doesn't have as many highly customized themes available it seems (at least in terms of free ones). It's really a shame because the software is every bit as customizable MyBB is, but their theme developers tend to "play it safe" a lot more I've noticed. But I will give them this: Every single one of them is responsive. And that's a huge plus.
