Use Discourse instead of phpBB?

Hello,
I guess there's a reasonable argument to explain why this community is on phpBB. Any chance to think about switching to a more modern framework as Discourse? It features interesting elements that would maybe help the community to thrive?

Personally, I find navigation and finding interesting threads easier with Discourse than phpBB. It's also more "interactive" if that's important.

The other issue is that traditional forums tend to be much more susceptible to spam accounts. Whether this is due to Discourse's extra anti-spam measures, or just that it's easier to moderate, though...
