    I was visiting a competitor site just a few minutes ago and saw that it was hacked. They run MyBB.

    For kicks I went to the MyBB support forum and many forum owners are getting hacked today. They released an update. Just a heads up if you're using MyBB.

    actually, when mybb released verson 1.0 there has been a lot of hacking problems and they've been releasing tons of updates. That's why I don't use it.

    Ive used mybb after some teething problems touch wood ive not had any issues with it.

    Its a shame people see the need to hack websites for bad purposes, people have spent lots of time and effort creating some good forum software for people and they release it for free so why the need to do damage is beyond me but mybb is very nice simple software i would recommend it
