phpBB Weekly Forum Now Open!
We’ve had a number of people e-mail us and tell us that, you know, if phpBB Weekly is all about forum software, shouldn’t you have a forum for phpBB Weekly? Well, it’s a great idea, but managing a forum is a lot of work (as we’ve mentioned on the show), and so far, we’ve pretty much been content with the comments system on the blog and the nice form where you can submit your questions.
Well, thanks to our good friends at Star Trek Guide, which, not coincidentally, is co-administrated by phpBB Weekly co-host David Lewis, they have now created a brand new forum just for phpBB Weekly, which we will be taking advantage of and hope that all of our wonderful listeners will take advantage of. Keep an eye out on there for topics where we’ll invite you to submit questions for when we bring guests on the show and ask for occasional feedback on the show. If there’s any comments from the forum that we find noteworthy, we may decide to mention your comments on the show. And, a much-requested, we have a special topic for help connecting to TalkShoe. 
We’re really excited to be expanding phpBB Weekly in all of these ways. phpBB is about creating communities, and David and I are really excited to be able to find more and more ways to make phpBB Weekly a community-driven podcast. We may be the hosts, but you, the listeners, are the community members that make phpBB happen.
So run, don’t walk, over to the phpBB Weekly forum over at Star Trek Guide!

This podcast is about board software, not forum software. Someone didn’t listen to the Official phpBB Podcast.
Yes get it right!!..lol
Okay, seriously now. I’m really starting to get annoyed with how stingy the teams are being to me about how I say things. I’m sorry if it’s not the “official” thing to say, but it’s all right so long as people get what I mean.
I made a joke out of the team’s insistence that #phpbbmod be “hash phpbbmod” instead of “pound phpbbmod”, but I’ve gotten quite a few listener e-mails defending me, saying that it really doesn’t matter. I’d like the teams to please lighten up on me, and remember that this isn’t supposed to be an “official” podcast, but more of a fan-produced podcast, so to speak.
In short: give it a rest.
Uh, you are missing the point. This has nothing to do with being official or not. This is about using the correct terms. I couldn’t care less about hash versus pound. Heck, I agree that it doesn’t matter and either term is correct. But board and forum are not interchangeable.
