My first phpBB was a General subject matter forum and was part of angells-au. At the time I was trying to think up a unique Australian name for it without referring to Kangaroo's and Koala's as everyone else were registering domains with reference to those two aussie animals in them.
I used it to learn phpBB more than anything and it wasn't until 2 months after starting it I registered the domain name for Galahs Corner and it has been a General forum ever since but with many many changes taking place since going live online on 31st January 2003

My first was a freeforum host and about Teaching Support and I am still on those lines but with a paid for host and able to 'play' with my forum over a year now. I also have one aimed at us girlies too.
I have learnt loads since being able to play but still have lots more to learn.

hehe great topic
my first phpBB was about the Windsor Safari Park created on 31 Aug 2003 I think it was 2.0.6 at that time
I absolutely hated and loathed doing the upgrades all the way to 2.0.16 I think it went
in all the years up to 2003 I had no computer or I did have a computer but no internet and could not understand why nobody had started a Windsor Safari Park
well the park was bulldozed in 1992 to make way for LEGOLAND but heeeey!!! it was such a grand place
anyway - I'll stop there before boring you to death  |

| Mine is a message board for RONNIE JAMES DIO, and now I am having a fit trying to convert it to phpBB3 as we have a LOT of posts and attachments. But if necessary we can start over....but I hope not. |

converting is a very easy process.
Information on how to convert from phpBB2 to phpBB3 is here.
Basically, you must have both phpBB2 and phpBB3 installed on the same server. After you have finished installing phpBB3 you will have the option to convert your phpBB2 board using the built in converter. The information it asks you for is related to the phpBB2 installation and can be found in its config.php file on the server. All of your users, posts, forums, PMs etc are converted. However, styles and MODs are not (with the exception of the birthday and attachment MODs which are supported by the converter). The phpBB2 database is not converted per se, it is merely read and converted/moved to the new phpBB3 database, so if it goes wrong your old board will not be affected at all. At the end of the conversion, once you're happy it's all working, your phpBB2 database and files can be backed up and removed if you so wish. They are not connected to the new installation in any way. |
