New Forum Software (phpBB) for Planet ETN V1

We’re launching our new community forum, based on phpBB. We believe it’s the right platform to build something long-lasting for Planet ETN.

Why phpBB is a great choice

• Reliability — phpBB is one of the oldest and most reliable open-source forum platforms, with a long history of development.
• Features & customizability — it offers a rich set of features and a large library of extensions, letting us tailor permissions, appearance, and structure based on our needs.
• Community support — phpBB has a large, active community that maintains the software and offers support and resources.
• Scales well — suitable for small communities or much larger ones. As Planet ETN grows, phpBB can handle increased activity without breaking down.

Why a forum matters — more than just chat

Chat apps and instant-message platforms (like Discord or Telegram) are great for real-time talk. But traditional forums give us something different: organized, searchable discussions that stay accessible forever. Good posts don’t vanish — they remain indexed and easy to find, both by people and search-engines or AI bots. That helps newcomers, and preserves our collective knowledge over time.

In short, this forum becomes a growing resource — not just for today’s conversations, but for future members and community memory.

We believe phpBB gives Planet ETN the strong, flexible foundation we need to build a thriving community.

Thank you for being part of this. Let’s grow together.

We are working on the forums here and there as we move forward here. Still trying to learn and understand things so expect some weirdness here and there!

We added some nicer icons for new topics just now!

We are trying to understand the "Thank you rating" - its a very popular function but I don't quite understand the rating of stars. Might need to modify this some but want to let it do its default thing some more to understand it better.

Anyway things will fall into place soon enough!

Thank you for the update !!!

@Plankton_Etn recommended we have a way so we can mention/tribute users in our post and he found a plugin for this. I have now installed this in the forum so everyone can write @[users]



Please note that this does NOT work in the Quick reply form. You have to click the "Full Editor & Preview" to get all form functions.

Awesome @0xNorin thankyou !!
