Flarum

Flarum is the next-generation forum software that makes online discussion fun. It's simple, fast, and free.
Pricing:
- Open Source
The old PhpBB/VBulletin format has a certain familiar charm to it, but I find it hard to go back after using modern forum systems like Discourse that fix a lot of the old system's UX shortcomings. Anyone have experience with Flarum (https://flarum.org)? I've been peripherally aware of it for years (it it looks like it's still quite active on GitHub) and it looks like a nice lighter-weight alternative to Discourse which I know gets some flak for being resource-heavy.

Tildes

A non-profit community site driven by its users' interests

[Tildes](https://tildes.net) is open source and does something like that. Not a direct 1:1 to phpBB but more like a cross between old school forums and reddit.
