Hello guys,

Many experts on the web always mentioned that PHPBB is very bad and easily exploited by worm and hackers. In this case, what do you think is the best Software for the forums?

I know vBulletin is the best so far but heheh it cost lots of $$$... you know, it's $$$ and not just one $ Laughing

How secure it is? Does it support the importing feature ? i.e. moving from phpbb to smf, will it be easy?

SMF seems new? no?

I'm not sure how secure it is, but i found that most advanced forums use this smf.

What i do know about it is that the admin panel comprises many features and options than phpBB.

For the skin, i must acknowledge that phpBB is much more clean, but I just don't like the admin management system in phpBB.

SMF is not that new. I have used SMF, PHPBB and Vbulletin. They are all good for different jobs. I think you could convert a customer base to SMF pretty easily.

They just don't have as many users so there are not as many add-ons and plugins for it.

I' like to read news on internet and stuff and heard not so much good news about phpbb. It lacks lots of security features. Indeed I found some website hacks by hackers before using phpbb. It's kinda scary world!

I would go for vBulletin too Smile
