A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MyBB is a weird choice in 2023

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
