I love to visit forums online and to get involved and chat with people in my industry. I am a member of probably fifteen different forums of all kinds. I like the companionship and just getting to know people. I do however have a preference of forum that I like to visit.

For me, the PhpBB forum templates are the easiest to navigate and to post and reply on. Some of the other types of forums I have visited just do not appeal to me because they are too hard to figure out. Maybe I am just used to the PhpBB forum templates and should give the others a try but so far I have not found any that I like near as much.

The amount of ease and feeling of comfort I get when visiting a good PhpBB forum is just so nice to me. I feel at home but when I land on a forum that is not PhpBB I feel dumb like I do not know what I am doing.

Recently I even found a newer version of the PhpBB, I think they were PhpBB3 templates and that took a little bit of getting used to. On the front end there were not too many changes but from what I hear the back end is more complex but gives more updates and options which is good.
