Hard to update? There is a code changes list for every release, and it is in easily readable text form. Every vBulletin update has much more code changes than all phpBB 2 updates within a year, and doesn't provide any code changes. Then you are using phpbb-rpg, not phpBB, so don't blame phpBB for bugs and problems of third party overmodded version. Its not phpBB you are using. Back to topic: I suggest to go with phpBB 2. Its stable and safe, if you keep up to date, but don't forget to install some anti-spam mod. There is an upgrade script from phpBB 2 to vBulletin, so you can upgrade whenever you'll get money for vb license. |

phpBB is simply too popular and too easily spammed if you don't have the time/patience to wade through it's documentation and mod it to a decent degree.
I threw up a domain for a friend's band recently, about 3 months ago. They installed phpBB, and within a month the spam-bots had completely taken over auto-registering and auto-posting on the board, to the point of 10-15 new users per hour on a VERY new domain. I've modded phpBB in the past and while there are indeed some decent add-ons out there for it, it's mod system and communities are nothing like vB's. My advice is that unless you can devote a decent amount of time to it making it spam-proof, shy away from PHPBB. |

I am using phpbb as fact, and its always updated to the latest version, so don't presume to tell me what’s what or what I am using please, and contrary to your belief the very latest stock version of phpbb gets hacked, allot. Chris-777: I have also had major Spam problems with my phpBB boards. So to the original poster, I put in my option and my experience with the 2 boards I have used, take it for what you will, best of luck with whatever you decide. Cheers, _V |
