Compatible with PHP7?

[Last Man Standing]

There is any way, without hard codding, to make 3.0 compatible to PHP7?
What are the facts?

Unless you're using a fork of phpBB 3.0.x like phpBBex which can come with its own set of problems, keeping such an old version involves making core changes.

Is there any one who succeded doing that?

why would you want to make it compatible with php7?

don't know for sure if this site is running 3.0 but there is no real reason to do so just because we are supporting 3.0+

This site is 3.0.14.

I signed up to have better access to the forum.
In principle I subscribe to almost every forum I see are still on Olympus.
My motto is:
Olympus the forum made by hackers for hackers.
Not sharing the development done with Ascraeus and Rhea, I always preferred to update my Olympus: I added the responsive style made by Cyberalien for 3.0.12 updating it to 3.0.14 I'm talking about Artodia Deluxe, I implemented some Dion Design hacks, and I also drew from the latter to make it compatible up to PHP 8.1.
Now I have a forum in which I have disabled the search for updates, because it shouldn't be updated, except to apply security patches.
