Hardly any problems "now". I know only too well the major issues you had with spammers and bogus account creation. And saying you now have "hardly" any problems implies that you do still have some.

Nothing is perfect, that is true, but have you seen any spam being posted on this forum since it was launched? Nope. And there is a reason. vB is the most secure and robust forum on the market. You get what you pay for.

I've used and tried out most forums available Steve and it is a known fact that phpbb is one of the worst for security you can use. I'm not making it up Steve, it is a fact. Even IPB is more secure, and that is saying something!
