History
phpBB was started by James Atkinson as a simple UBB-like forum for his own website on June 17, 2000. Nathan
Codding and John Abela joined the development team after phpBB's CVS repository was moved to SourceForge.net,
and work on 1.0.0 began. A fully functional, pre-release version of phpBB was made available in July. [4]
phpBB 1.0.0 was released on December 9, 2000, with subsequent improvements to the 1.x codebase coming in two
more major installments. The final release in the 1.x line was phpBB 1.4.4, released on November 6, 2001. During
the lifetime of the 1.x series, Bart van Bragt, Paul S. Owen (former co-manager of the project), Jonathan Haase and
Frank Feingold joined the team. phpBB 1.x is no longer supported and virtually no websites continue to use it.
In February 2001, phpBB 2.0.x began development entirely from scratch; the developer's ambitions for phpBB had
outgrown the original codebase. Doug Kelly joined the team shortly afterwards. After a year of development and
extensive testing, phpBB 2.0.0, dubbed the "Super Furry" version, was released on April 4, 2002, three days later
than intended. [5]
