      MyBB is great for niche/specific content. Great moderator tools and everyone knows how to navigate a freakin’ forum.

        It’s got a long history of vulns due to its antiquated codebase, there are some nice alternatives with more stable codebases

        • SMF is still viable
        • Flarum is not too shabby but it’s probably a bit wackier than they want
        • FluxBB with some addons is nice and super simple

        Then for paid alternatives:

        • Xenforo
        • IP.board

        That said, as long as they keep MyBB up to date it should be fine

      As a former SMF developer, it gives me flashbacks to when I used to convince people to choose SMF over phpBB and MyBB, which were the other main choices at the time. That was maybe 15 years ago? I’m surprised MyBB is still publishing new versions.
