Never used it on a live website, but some SMF zealots / phpbb traitors claim that phpbb has some serious security vulnerabilities out of the box. I'm not sure that's plausible, since the largest English-speaking forum on the web, Go-Gaia, uses it and it seems to be doing fine. One thing that might be annoying is that there haven't been many major updates lately. Their Area51 has remained unchanged for years it seems. I may be wrong, though, I've never checked their snapshot releases of phpbb 3 or whatever they call it.

phpbb did have a serious flaw last year, but the most current version is pretty reliable and stable. You can't beat that forum for the price.

best source is the phpbb forum. they have everything discussed there. if you are looking for a forum then seriously, phpbb is the way to go unless you have the cia tracking you and you need to be so secure that NOBODY knows whats going on
