PHP forums
 

are the free ones easy to hack?
i was thinking of buying a vbulletin but my friend said that php boards are save no adays...
true?

http://www.phpbb.com is not bad. Its free. They have been alot better about releasing updates.

its not bad but would you recomend it?

:thumbsup

Some parent's children

I have used PHPbb and works pretty good.

Did I make a grammar mistake?

They have to be, and so will you... keep up with those updates or else you'll get hacked hard.
Let it slip for a month or so and you could open up your server to anyone.

phpbb is constantly exploited.

Glad to see phpbb getting some good words, they have a great program. :thumbsup

spend the 100$ and buy vbulletin its worth it

lots of boards are safe as long as they keep releasing new patches...

Rasmus has said that Fudforum is actually one of or the most secure php forums. Had anyone else heard this too?

fudforum free?
you know what fuck it because i only want to have the site released in 07

Can't say I have.

Hit me on ICQ mate I'll give you a look at the one I use never had a prob with it yet.

Yes, it's 100% free.

PHPBB is nice, but they aren't fucking around when they recommend you stay on top of patches.

Big forum scripts == lots of people who want to exploit it

If you want security, go with a smaller one off of hotscripts.com, or a custom one. The ones on hotscripts.com might be less secure in their code, but there aren't 3428432084284023 hackers trying to find the exploits for it, either.

Custom scripts are nice cause they're easily integrated, not too much to configure, no excess features that don't benefit you, etc.

If you want a free script choose phpbb. If you have budget on it buy vbulletin. Just keep an eye on every updates.

I have a php board...and it's free...i mean unlimited bandwidth usage...and everything...and I can say that the host offer lots of security options. It's free because it's ad supported...

phpbb its a horror.
and vbulletin its getting hacked regularly.
take the recent dnforum hack.

I like invision power board. It looks good. People love it. Never been hacked.

Not free, but of course its paid for itself cause im great.

Phpbb is best,but i strongly reccomend to implement security hacks before realese it.
