If you are running phpBB, it's a nice program, but want to make sure your
version is up-to-date. There had been a serious security issue a few revs back,
but if you're keeping it current you're as susceptible as anyone else is. : )
If you don't like the way the program is configured to register users though,
you may need to create your own program for that and remove the default
registration links and scripts.
