If you're willing, then I'll be willing to try a few out.

I checked and there isn't but the Composer is "just" a plugin and could be replaced with a different one. I know there are other ones but I didn't look at them so far. If you are interested you can try them out on the board and I could give you admin access.

Oh I just remembered the one thing I really hate about NodeBB. Its stupid half-page "new post" window. I have never, not once in the history of BBs, wanted to continue looking at the topic list while creating a new topic. What an utterly useless waste of space that just screams "look mom, dynamic pages!". If there's an option or a stylesheet or something that does away with that, I am 100% in favor of removing it.

From what I have seen so far the biggest improvement to phpBB is the mobile view and the admin panel (phpBB admin panel really sucks hard)

That's perfectly fair, I know finding a good free software that works with your existing stack isn't easy. As far as what I don't like, I just don't like a lot of the UI paradigms of it. I don't think I could name anything specific, I am just not as comfortable with it as, say, PhpBB, for all its horrible flaws. But I know it's not going to change just because I don't like it, that would be stupid.

I don't know what you dislike about it, but apart from the single sign on it's pretty much the default.
Given that it is the only open source forum that offers an "easy" and free way of creating single sign on, it was more of a technology choice than anything else.

I guess I'm alone in this but I can't stand NodeBB... At least not the implementations I've used. Hopefully FAF's is better.

Not really. The new forums is almost there... if you want to have a look at https://forum.test.faforever.com (single sign on with your user and password foo)

It's been a while since I've used phpbb as an admin but I'm fairly certain that you can also lock signatures behind a rank requirement too. Worth considering.

i've got some moderator power and gonna try to help with deleting those bots.
Also it is not always matter of not being able to edit a post, they just add links to signature later.

If you have issues with FAF registration (which is 99% related to either email not being sent or email not being received / in spam etc) you have the same problem in the forum right now.

For the new forum you only need to be registrated. You do not need an active link to Steam (this is only required for login with the client).

Also the major help channel seems to be Discord nowadays.

Wouldn't that also make getting support for FAF more difficult if the issue is with logging in to FAF? Don't get me wrong, a new forum is way overdue and very welcome, just curious how that will be handled, as well as what will happen to the many years of information here.

This phpbb forum will be replaced soon. The new solution will use single sign on of your FAF account and then all spam bots will be gone.
