MyBB has a decent, helpful community.

[leefish]

There are many helpful users, but they are outweighed by the masses of 12's who have discovered an excellent forum software which is completely free.

MyBB is a big community, and its hard to keep people under control. Even a small community like here has its trolls..... yes, said troll has been banned (yay) but that was one out of 50.

Its pretty difficult to tell whether a user is serious or not until you see a few posts from them. I do think MYBB as a forum is going downhill a bit, but I also see more and more moderator presence nowadays. Now that 1.6 is released there will be a couple of weeks of users who do not read posting in hysterics, then it will all calm down. Then I think we will see more moderation of the forums.
