This is silly, no big deal, just something I noticed a long time ago, and I'm bored so why not mention it.
I noticed that mybb has a slogan on the homepage. Free never tasted so good,

but MyBB is not a restaurant nor food product, kinda throws me off when I read it.

Should it say " Free never looked so good "?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Free never tasted so good, is perfect for its intended use.
There is actually a cool explanation behind the slogan: read this thread https://community.mybb.com/thread-146152...pid1039256
It's kind of a joke that's been around for ages - see the following thread for example: https://community.mybb.com/thread-146152...pid1039256

LOL.. Thank you for the explanation!

"Free never tasted like pudding"

Okay, now this adds a new eye-opening dimension to the slogan, that is cool. And I feel the personality behind the motivation now. With this explanation, it personifies the lighthearted, easy going, cool people behind MyBB. It is perfect!

Wow this tasted so good, <3 MyBB Smile
It's a reference to an announcement from 2003, when it was revealed that MyBB would be free software:

Interesting to note that MyBB was originally typed as myBB, then somewhere along the line... it became MyBB.
Is there any guide available for new users about MyBB??
