  "textContent": "> Why not report every single bug that you encounter? Bugfixing is a main part of every software and I think they'd appreciate it if you'd point out all the breaking changes.\n> And excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't there be a risk of vulnerabilities being exploited if you use an older version of PhpBB?\n\nAs far as I know, older forum software can be kept semi-secure if you keep updating it to work on newer and newer versions of PHP... most of the security risks would come with running an outdated version of PHP itself to keep the older software alive, if a person goes that route. Though don't quote me on that, I'm not 100% confident in my knowledge of the security side of things.\n\nThe thing about forum software is, there's not a whole lot to it really... a good chunk of the logic is contained in an SQL database, and a lot of the security side dealt with by server software. All the forum software does is sit server-side as a PHP layer that translates database entries into usable HTML for clients, and then in turn accepts submissions from clients and turns them into database entries the server can store.\n\n**Off-topic:**\nIn theory, someone could probably write a desktop application that does what a forum does and which only requires the server to provide a database and handle authentication, maybe transmitting only the requested data after checking the user has permissions to see it, with all the rendering stuff handled client-side and no need to download assets or generate HTML server-side when a user makes a request. Sort of like a hybrid cross between a newsgroup and a forum, I guess.\n\n* * *",
