Following a couple of weeks off, this episode of phpBB Weekly covers all of the big news to come out of phpBB over the month of May.

The MODs and Styles Downloads are back, however we’re still awaiting the ability to submit them to the new databases. Douglas also reviews the new databases, and his overall opinion is that they still need a number of improvements. Then, a confusing announcement by SHS` says that phpBB is dead… long live phpBB!, which really only means that theFinn (James Atkinson), phpBB’s founder, is resigning. However, 2 weeks after a phpBB3 status update from Acyd Burn, the 11-month beta cycle ends and phpBB3 RC-1 is released! But then, phpBB.com brings hot web development jobs via JobCoin, which is nothing more than yet another source of advertising revenue for the teams.

Finally, the MOD of the week is IP Unmasker by TerraFrost, and the style of the week is Aluminiod by sbrunkow.
