Re: A secure and easy to admin forum?

I knew phpBB, but it is not easy to admin, at least for me. Set moderator
privileges, admin users, admin messages and so is a little tricky. I know
w-agora, a very flexible and easy to use forum, but I don't rely too much on
its security.

Thanks

Any idea?

It's used by some pretty huge sites and they fix security problems very
quickly after reporting.

One example is http://www.security-forums.com
