About PHPbb
PHPbb is a free, open source foruum application. PHPbb forums are great for website owners who want to create a surefire way to keep visitors coming back, by allowing members to post topics and reply to one another.
If you plan to use ANY forum, you need to make sure that you, or someone you designate as a moderator, stays abreast of what is being posted on a regular basis. Spammers love to join forums so they can add their web address to trick search engines into ranking them higher.
Also be aware that very popular forums eat up very large chunks of bandwith and you might discover server bandwidth costs escalating. But if return visitors are what you want, forums are great sources for building traffic on your website.
