@Hyper A lot of MFGGers who have been around for a while have fond memories of the phpBB (or IPB) eras, but I don't think changing forum software will do much to fix to the issue of AI crawlers crashing the MFGG server. I think implementing Cloudflare offers the best chance of improving the performance/stability issues.
Some other stability issues have stemmed from PHP upgrades. These occasionally caused disruption and frustration as we debugged the root cause of PHP warnings and other small defects. On the other hand, if we'd never updated MyBB's software and plugins, we would've been in for a very rude awakening when we found an emergency PHP upgrade was needed. Being careful not to fall behind too far in MyBB/PHP upgrade schedules may have saved us from having to deal with a prolonged period of downtime.
