I think it looks good... and they added alot more features so its not just a forum its a CMS, forks usually dont last but this seems to be doing good. Most forks just copy the whole thing, and dont change anything.. but this one is different.
If you dont know what fork means, it means when someone takes a certain type of software that is open source and modifies it, and adds more features to it and basically comes out with a whole new software. You can only make a fork if the software is open source. Open source means, you are free to modify the software, and change things around, and redistribute it as your own long as you include the credits.
If I were to even consider to use phpBB which I never would.. I would rather use Icy Phoenix.
