This blog has taken a rather negative tone for the last few days, maybe it’s just the weather, or maybe it’s because I’d really just like people to produce better software.
So, to illustrate the difference between adding a mod to, say, Wordpress and PHPbb 3, I’ve drawn up this flowchart.
I think it’s quite obvious the difference in complexity (and thus, ability of non-experts to manage and maintain a forum running PHPbb).

You forgot the step when a new version of PhpBB comes out because of its insecurities, midway through upgrading, meaning you have to patch and redo it

That’s just being mean…
But, I have had that occur, though it was when I was upgrading from 2.0.17 to 2.0.18, and was just slow off the mark in updating it (because I had to install 4 mods)
