Re: [PLUG] What Forum Software to use?

[Gordon Dexter <gordon@texasdex.com>]

There's a reason phpBB is so popular, and that's probably because it's 
great software.  I last used it a few years ago, and it was great back 
then; I'm sure it's even better now.

I had a friend who ran a web hosting service, and back then (like 4-5 
years ago) he said that phpBB was the 'bane of [his] existence' because 
of it's popularity and frequent security issues.  I think it's gotten 
better, but patching is still important.

The other community forum software I've used is e107.  It's a more 
general content management system with a forum plugin, and it has done 
everything I needed, but I'm not sure if I'm as confident in its 
architecture.
