FUDforum has proven to be much more secure over the years: http://fudforum.org/forum/ My complaint with FUDforum is that it's fugly. :-) I find phpBB to be much more attractive. Unfortunately, it has had numerous security vulnerabilities over the years. I've never examined the code, so I'm not sure if it's due to a poor design or just developer mistakes, but I wouldn't feel comfortable deploying it. While I agree with your decision, I disagree with using their recent misfortune to support a switch. Server security is an entirely different field - a secure application doesn't make a secure server, and a secure server doesn't make a secure application.
