Moving on from phpBB3

Like the tag above says, this is not my server. I do keep my own server and there is a private message board on there that for EVER has been either phpBB2 or phpBB3. Well, due to a number of hard drive crashes, the use of that server is way down (I think I had all of 20 users at one point), which is just as well, I guess.
After yet another hard drive failure, I just reinstalled phpBB3 and found that some recent “updates” to it have rendered the system virtually unadministrable. So, like a good little server guy, I went out and sought a better solution.
I think I found it in Simple Machines Forum.
We will see. I am waiting for my users to discover it and test it out for me.
