In this episode, Highway of Life joins us to talk about his experience with phpBB3. He talks about how he built his Star Trek Guide Forums off of phpBB3 CVS (which is not recommended, by the way) 
, the differences between MODding for phpBB2 and phpBB3, and much more. We had an excellent interview on this episode which is highly recommended for anyone who is interested in learning more about what’s new in phpBB3, including MOD authors and people who are interested in building a real online community with phpBB3.
In addition, next week is the 2007 MOD Authors Convention in the #phpbb-mod IRC room on freenode.net. Douglas covers what the event will be like, how to participate, and we even come up with some questions to ask there. We will be covering the MOD Authors Convention next weekend on episode #022.
The MOD of the Week is Delete User MOD by ycl6, and the Style of the Week is ExtremeDark Red by GHS (view demo).

We had a great interview, which you can check out on phpBB Weekly #021. [...]
