I could run phpBB just fine on my $5-10/mo shared hosting.

It's one thing I don't like about many new tools (Slack alternatives, a lot of ActivityPub stuff, etc) - they require a lot more resources than shared hosting can provide, so you need a VPS, and all the headaches that go along with it.

Most phpBB-like forums will run fine on your $10/year shared MySQL hosts.
