I know what you mean about phpbb2’s security. I have a friend who just lost his entire database to the security holes.
From what I can tell, 3.0B2 is actually very much more secure to hacking. If you attempt to access the ACP through any means other than human clicking, it will return a "Hacking Attempt" error screen and lock you out until you verify to the software that you’re a human being and not a hacking program.
I’ll be interested in trying it out once a stable release candidate comes out. It’s definitely more secure, even in beta, than the finalized current version.
And now, we wait. It took them 3 years to get this far, so hopefully in another year, we can all use this great program.
