As KK states, security may be an issue with some packages,
A package is only as secure as you make it. So you could disable all security features and be hacked or you could download every possible security patch and never have to worry about security.
Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.

The fact that they have to keep adding patches, makes it so you have to worry about what else is wrong. I wouldn't say never.

The reason why security patches are needed for any forum is because hackers are always finding new ways to get around the security. That is why Virus scanners and even Linix+Microsoft release so many patches for there software yet so many people still use Patched virus scanners and patched operating systems. Because hackers don't just stop at one piece of technology. They invent new technology to pass by newly created defence technology.

In terms of online security, the only way a hacker can get into your site is a lack of proper coding practices. If the security is there, they won't get around it. Pretty much everything is preventable.

That's my final post for this thread. Its getting quite tiresome trying to get my point across.

I guess we do need to think outside the box and I've found that feature wise "Advanced Electron Forum" Forums seems to be able to do alot more than any other php forum. Only thing is that it must have mysql. A list of alternative php forums are as follows:
Advanced Electron Forum
bbPress
BeehiveForum
Elite Bulletin Board
FluxBB
Fudforum
HaveFnuBB
Mercury Board
MetaForum
miniBB
Monkey Boards
MyBB
MyUPB
NextBBS
NuclearBB
OvBB
PapyrusBB
Phorum
phpBB
punBB
Quicksliver Forums
SMF
TairoBB
Unclassified NewsBoard
Vanilla
Viscacha
Vistix

.
