Joomla is hacker bait. Installing that script is like posting a big sign that says "Please hack my site".

Some of the add-ons that you can download from the joomla site has been tagged as having known security flaws. But the joomla community still hands those files out like candy.

Awhile back the joomla developers did not want the script tied in with anything that cost money. SMF even dropped support for the joomla & smf bridge because of the stuff that the joomla devs were doing. I think this was about a year and a half ago. But the joomla community lost a lot of respect and support because of what they "thought" open source meant.

The joomla support forums are a joke. If you need help, instead of asking, get ready to beg for help.

The code is bloated and slow.

The list goes on and on.

I ran a joomla site for about 6 or 7 months. It was probably one of the worst experiences of my web site building career.
