For me, EAB should stay as it, with the old vb3 engine, because of the speed, nostalgia, and amiga compatible
I don't care about mobile skin, double authentication, etc. but we have to be "findable" by search engine to not be useless.

Now, if we want to keep abime.net server secure, I have to keep kernel and linux packages up to date, because this server is online 24/24.
This means PHP versions are always growing (EAB is running on php 7.x, but php 8.x will be soon live, etc.)

So I will do the maximum to patch the php code and let it work with the latest PHP version.
But maybe one day it won't be possible anymore, and if it happens, I will be forced to make a poll to choose between security (new forum engine) or unsecure EAB.
Hopefully it won't happen soon

Updates have their own issues, look at what happened with CrowdStrike.
