Basically you guys are running a 10 year old forum software and it really really shows, implementing features is harder then it needs to be, there might be major security risks just around the corner?(we over at Minus World faced a big one a couple years back when we where on phpBB dealing with deleted posts) The other big issue is making skins/themes is the worst thing and is much harder then it needs to be on phpBB.
With MyBB that all changes, new features are relatively easy to add, themeing is much more simple, its got a constant update cycle.
The final thing that might entice you is
this. That tool basically lets you port up posts, users, skins(I believe) the whole kit from phpBB to MyBB to make it as painless as possible to move. MyBB also has a site full of user-made mods that may or may not be beneficial for MFGG, it's hard to tell.
I know someone is gonna shoot this down by saying "but MFGG3" and well, that's gonna take a long while. MyBB would be a good thing that we can do now, quickly as a sort of stepping stone into MFGG3. MyBB can also do everything Minus World does, which is pretty impressive.
A final thing is I'd like to step up as a Tech Admin, this is regardless of whether or not you decide to move to MyBB, as you have next to no Tech Admins.
