    1.) phpBB, MyBB, and SMF all have good enough security such that it would be pretty hard to hack a forum due to a vulnerability in the forum software. phpBB last had a security audit in 3.0.0 PL6 and MyBB last had one in 1.4.2. SMF never had an audit.

    2.) MyBB's SEO is very good with the Google SEO add-on.

    3.) Depends on what you want. Just saying "features" is very vague, but MyBB and SMF should have enough out of the box. Either way, do test all three forum software out.

    MyBB is my choice platform.

    Dedicated community support, more plugins than any single person could ever need, and ready out of the box. Just download your skin and plugins, upload them, click a button and you're live :)
