[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 366739"] While some will claim it's good, I'd avoid phpBB. There are a lot of security issues with the various versions and each forum I join that uses it always has these spambots registering. I read about a plug-in you can install to make it tougher on them though, and you have to crank up security really high to keep them in check like email verification which is a must and there is also the capcha verification while they register that you need to implement. [B][I]Edited to add:[/I][/B] Here's the link to tips on keeping spambots at bay if you really want to use phpBB: [URL="http://boonedocks.net/mike/archives/49-PHPBB-Member-List-Link-Spam.html"][B]PHPBB Member List Link Spam[/B][/URL].
