PHPBB is also prone to a few security issues. This happens with any software that is popular and I have lost count of the number of times I have visited a board powered by that software that has been owned by kiddies who knew of some exploit.

This board and it's predecessor, Infopop, is a little better in that respect, in my view anyway. I see no reason to change to another board because of the look - ever heard of CSS? - which is obviously well used here.

The other thing is, I don't want to have to register my name for a third time, or are the databases perfectly interchangable?
