As I've said before, I've used both extensively. I have a web development background, and I have over 20 years experience and multiple certifications in computer security. I am telling you right now that security has absolutely nothing to do with this. Both forum softwares are equally secure, and you've yet to show any proof of anything otherwise. I have a very long history of using PHPBB2, PHPBB3, SMF 1, and SMF 2, and I'm aware of both forum softwares' groups currently working on new major versions, as well as planning major versions for after that. My knowledge and experience in their usage alone proves that you are wrong. Until you come up with something that says otherwise, keep your personal fanboy crap out of my topic. As I've said before, that has absolutely nothing to do with a topic about a SMF update that takes a few seconds to apply, and you are only derailing it further by trying to argue that VC:MP Forums should switch. If you want that to happen, create your own topic.
Don't believe me about my experience? Let me know. I'll even link you to two sites I am currently administrating that each use SMF and PHPBB respectively.
