I made my own forums in php + mySQL because I was using phpBB on my site and it got hijacked twice because of existing exploits. Also, spam accounts were an issue, dunno if you have that problem here or not. anyways, good idea on topic
you didnt have it setup correctly, nor did you keep it maintained. i run the local dsm forum for indiana and the tri state area (http://www.indystars.org)/shameless plug anyway, my forum has never been hijacked, i keep the code up to date, i have made the forum private and i have to approve each membership by clicking on a link that is sent to me by email. if someone pisses me off, perma ban is quickly achieved by using the admin userlist mod. i have zero spam issues, zero guests can read this forum, you have to give your real name at signup, we are a close knit community, new to the area or not.


You're funny, actually it was setup correctly. How could it not be, its self installing script- and it was up to date. How could you say I did not keep it maintained? That makes really no sense, expecially if you had not even seen the previous forums I ran. If you knew anything about programming and care about your website, its is clearly the best choice to code your own forums - bar none.

Face it, in well known forums, exploits exist. I implemented a security code displayed in an image that must be entered before a user can register. This makes it where spam bots cannot fill the form and register, as only a person can see the code before its entered, thus - real members.

Also, for the type of website I have, it is very much open to the public and unlike your case I cannot only permit users to signup that only I know personally. In 90% of all forums, you want to public to view the forums and become a member. If im not mistaken, that is what makes a community- like 2gnt.
