phpbb does struggle to get picked up properly by search bots I agree with that. Other forums with similar content does get picked quicker than a phpbb forum (in my experience)

not so.

It shoud be your job as forum admin to make sure the forum is setup so it is secure and you have proper people signing up. If you think it is too much to ensure this then you should never...

CAPTCHA codes work very well for me, also the more difficult they are the less you get through the doors so to speak.
Unfortunately the more difficult ones I struggle to read, lol so it's a balance...

I was talking about PHPBB3 there lol

yep its a top notch bit of kit for sure, some great features and really easy to manage. Will love to see what else they can included in it:)

phpbb is easy to use and highly customisable, plus its free as free could be. I regularly setup people with phpbb because of the lack of cost but the high level of support out there for it.
