We had a custom format with a whole custom graphics set. But phpbb2 had too many security holes and I had to upgrade to phpbb3, and was never quite able to get custom graphics set up for the new version.

why are security issues a problem? I say let the forum get hacked, it's all part of the authentic 2007 message board feel!
