A few days ago I emailed Matt about the situation of this forum and here is his response:
Hi flatrute,
I appreciate your help in moderating the forum. It is true that it's fallen under neglect since I've been focusing on larger projects and less on fostering a community.
I do have future plans for the forum, however it's likely going to involve replacing phpBB with something else. I've come to the conclusion that "going back to the past" is not the answer, and I should instead find something more "evolutionary" that tries to combine the best of modern services with the best of older services.
So the forum isn't getting shut down, but I do think it will be changed considerably in the near future.
Matt
If by chance someone else other than me are still active here
leave your comments about what this "evolutionary" software could be
