@JiveMasterT: no, this has nothing to do with phpbb.
Its secure.... please do try it out....
One bad thing about this is they don't have much bridge to cms as like i said they are not well known...
ONE MORE THING: the creator of MyBB is the creator of a well known software for windows live messenger call Messenger Plus.... where u can get it on msgplus.net....
Chris Boultan of MYBB is not Cyril Paciullo of MsgPlus
But they are friends as far as I know, and the Messenger Plus Forums are run on a custom made MYBB by their admin WDZ
MYBB is a brilliant free easy to use and manage forum database, with many great plugins available, such as download databases and birthday emailers etc
