Perhaps you would like to offer an alternative instead of just dissing the phpBB users? I've also had an acceptable record with phpBB. This being the result of: 1. Keeping on top of security announcements and promptly patching my system when something gets updated 2. Maintaining the httpd chroot environment 3. Leaving my install plain vanilla (no 3rd party mods) 4. Being a very niche and low-traffic system (only 50 members and 200odd posts in a little over two years online)
Does this mean phpBB is secure? Hell no. Anything PHP-based is likely written by folks Theo and co. would derive a sadistic pleasure from sending through "Code Auditing 101." Does it do what I want, when I want, without massive frustration? Yes. Thus, it meets a definition of "good," where "good" equals "what I personally want, when I want it, without giving me a migraine." Your definition of "good" is probably different, and phpBB might not meet it.
