We can change the number of threads per page here too, similarly with bbPress. I'm sure phpBB3 has better options/more granularity. (And is probably less clunky too.)
Although I'm probably not ready to jump on it just yet, the questions I will have are:
* Does Havard want to make the changes to his site?
* How do people feel about moving to phpBB3?
* Has Havard or someone else set it up before, and would be will be able to do it and the migration with minimal help from me? (If that is the case, then the group would be free to have more control over the software anyway.)
* Do people have enough experience with phpBB3 to know the features they may be losing since I customized this forum?
I think, for example, the Piazza is an example of a fairly vanilla phpBB3 install. It sends notifications, but not the text of what was responded (which I always thought was a big help for games). Aside from that, I think phpBB3 may have added all the functionality I added in the past to phpBB2--so it's probably a relatively small change.
If it would be me maintaining the software, after that recent move, I would like to keep phpBB2. It just works. If someone else is willing to do the phpBB3 work and maintain it, then the sky is the limit on modifications, themes, etc.
I'm sure phpBB3 is better in a lot of ways, but what are the things that are the most desirable?
Eventually we may be forced to switch to phpBB3--I don't know. But I do think I've given up completely on bbPress
