There's no 100% secure application, but as long as the development team are prompt at discovering and patching the exploits, you're pretty much safe. Exploits have been found for vBulletin, yet you don't consider that insecure because they've patched them extremely efficiently.

Works for us! No problems in two years.

Id say yes, even though some people say there are exploits in it

Yea its SAVE to use? and Safe to! LOL

They are great for offering SUPPORT.

Quite right... :cool:
no stats on that one?
