This phpBB forum is great, but isn't it time to update? Several things about this forum seem a bit broken, and phpBB released version 3.3.1 in August. I don't know much about these things, though, but it would be nice to see this forum have some new life breathed into it.

Just my two cents. Thanks for staying up for so long!

the re-rewrite was supposed to happen in 2009, but the traffic is less and less although we see some spikes some months, it'll never be as it was before. So i'm not sure if the time spent is worth the effort.

you also have to consider the huge amount of coding for the leaderboards. I bet this part alone could drive one crazy to start from fresh.

Cabanon is basically correct. JC can't just update the board because this board has been ridiculously highly customized and integrated with the scoring on the site. It would have to be completely rewritten, which JC had intended to do a couple times, but since its a ton of work, there's not as much demand here anymore, and he is busy with his day job, he's never finished it.
