Hi folks.
I'm Juanm and the main part of this site is dedicated to phpBB, some MODs,
some php snippets, (x)HTML. There's a symbian related area too ...
Below is the schedule of the process that will take place to retire the phpBB2 modifications section of this site.
On July 1, 2008 MODs for phpBB2 will no longer be accepted into the MOD Database. Updates to phpBB2 MODs that fix security issues will continue to be accepted. [2.0.x] MOD Writers Discussion and [2.0.x] MOD Requests forums will be set to read only. [2.0.x] MODs in Development will be changed to not allow new topics but replying to existing topics will still be allowed. [2.0.x] MOD Database Releases forum will not change and will continue to operate the same way it has been.

In their front page post, the main focus seems to be the ACP redesign and the new features added.
However a different way to hash passwords (via Portable PHP password hashing framework) seems to be one of the most important things to notice in the backend. This means that you must backup your database and your files first, and then upgrade. ...

To port the current templates for phpBB2, doing it the way I imagine it should be done, transform them from their current state to something I could call “outstanding” would take close to a full month of full time work. In reality, it would take me three months since I never have the luxury of only focusing at one single thing at a time.
