I must agree mainly these days hacking ect is an open admin where a password has been leaked of a admin that is having a moment because the owner deleted one of his posts. I was fed up to the back teeth of mybb but then decided to give it another chance. I did also test phpbb and smf as to be honest the free software still stands up well against the big players and so it should we all need free if there was no free well you guys will be paying a lot more for your mods plugins ect. so on a whole Mybb is my choice but why not just try both its not going to cost a penny.
