This is one of the reasons I decided to learn PHP in the first place. At first, I was expecting a whole bunch of phpBB modding tutorials on YouTube, but I was wrong. It would be really cool if you could make one!
php modding is basically broken. Modifying the source leads to complicated installation for people that don't know what they are doing and lots of incompatible mods.
In other words, probably not because it's a bloody pain
