XenForo vs IP.Board vs vBulletin

[Kuro]

vBulletin is the best! OMFG

[DEViANCE]

Well it seems IP.Board is winning hands down...

[Smith]

Of course it is. Xenforo is alright but not as good as IPB and we all know how vB is bad these days so..

Lets say if some one did db dump of your forum which forum do you think would when in security there ?? or sql injection wise I think xenforo would win since it's from phpmyadmin you can't even find the password table.. this is from ethical hacking point of view

The passwords table? All passwords are heavily encrypted with salts for all modern forums, not just the three in this thread. Passwords are pointless as they are encrypted. When you dump a modern DB it's the emails and members info that is useful. The username, sex, date of birth, location, timezone, language etc can all be used to help spam and scam. Passwords are of no use at all. In the case of the sony hacking that was a disaster as they stored the passwords unencrypted which is just asking for trouble. It's so stupid it's not worth thinking about. Any self respected site or coder has passwords heavily encrypted so your point is useless in this case.

I used IPB once, might use it again . I like all the features and plus now that vB 4 is lame, and the support for vB 3 is dead, there's really nothing else.

Never used XenForo or even heard of it until now so can't comment on that.

As for IPB I have used it but not overly happy with it but that is mostly down to the amount of time I have spent with vBulletin.

I still like vBulletin even if vB3 is at its death bed.

^ vBulletin 3 is amazing, still use it now.
