    The W3Schools was hacked today... I did some backlooking on who did it and it turns out that there is a website about forum hacking. This website was offering rewards to the first person to hack a picked forum.

    This is a good reason that I don't use major forums on my site. The fewer people that know how my scripts work, the less likely I'm going to be hacked!

    Thats w3schools fault, they are using version 2.0.4, considering the latest version is 2.1.7 they are months behind on security patches.
