Hello,
Yes I did run phpBB 2.0 and there were 20 spammers joining everyday
roughly few months after setting up. This was growing exponentially.
It was huge headache to maintain.
phpBB has great look and feel and I liked it visually and feature-wise,
and everything except maintenance.
YahooGroups maybe are not-so-nice visually and feature wise
but by comparison they are almost zero-maintenance solution and
simply work for so many years.
Yahoo staff, despite what some may think, are doing A LOT to protect from
hackers.
phpBB, being open source AND very popular, is prone to attacks.
I did not run version 3.0 so I don't have first hand real-world experience
in comparision to 2.0, and authors promise better protection, however
from their own forum, it seems to have its own share of problems.
The alternative is to use commercial forum such as vBulletin and
_maybe_ it would work better / attract less spam / being more secure
but I did not try it on "my own skin".
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
