For the people saying that phpBB is easier to hack. Get your facts straight.
It is up to the webmaster to keep his forum updated. If it is hacked because of an outdated mod, then who's fault is it? Certainly not phpBB.

Yes mods have to be done manually and aren't one click like vB, that's cause phpBB was meant for people who want to really learn how to run a site, get close to the code etc, not like with vB, one click installs, and hence people not even knowing how to simply put an image/button in their header.
