MyBB Community Forums

I have been told that MariaDB is a better DB engine for BBs such as myBB, because of the flexibility of the queries I can make as opposed to mySQL which is often controlled by hosts. For example, max_connections_user is the most frequent error I see on our board, and one of the users told me that it would be easier if I used MariaDB instead?

Considering MyBB doesn't support Maria DB, I highly doubt it.

MariaDB is not MySQL 5.5 compatible which is awesome.

And you can't just run server binaries on a shared host. Doesn't work that way.
