Has a large user base and (I imagine) developer base. The likely security issues will be promptly fixed. :-)
And how many years have they been saying that?
-1 phpBB
phpBB has one of the worst track records for forum packages with regards to security issues and they have, as Les mentioned, been promising to "fix" the heart of the problem for many, many years now. Quite a few years ago I grew tired of the "phpBB security hole of the week" game, transitioned everything to SMF, and never once looked back. I routinely turn down gigs that want phpBB if I am unable to convince them to go with SMF - it's just not worth the headaches.
SMF was rejected a long time ago on the basis of the license not being friendly. Please check back in the archives or refer to the matrix here:
