    Is there such a thing, or is this a scandal? Seems like it to me, because the support forums are empty, there's no demos of it, etc.

    Tell me, phpBB platinum -- is this an official endorsed project, or what?

    Just looked at the support forum and apparently the backup routine is still under development (as of Sept 13th) so not yet a variety you would want to use for real in the wide world.

    Can't say it is a scam but a lot of stuff on their forum looks artificial and test data like so I wouldn't even consider it for another 6 months.

    I was thinking the same, Paulh. Seemed very low down to me, and even on the phpBB forums, I saw no mentioning of phpBB Platinum. Weird.

    That's because it's a forum for another site.

    phpBB3 Platinum is found @ phpbb.org

    The support forums are found @ support.phpbb.net

    phpbb.net is a phpbb3 free host.

    Basically, the support forum they link to there is that for another site (a free phpbb3 host).

    Yeah, I would download from phpbb.com only.

    Right, okay! I would too, I thought phpBB Platinum was a knock-off.
