Well, phpBB has indeed had some security issues. I don't know about their severity or fixes, I just know that the forums for defcon.org got beaten down to a pulp two days into the conference. I don't see postnuke or phpBB tying in very well with the mailing lists without a LOT of work though. I think I have heard of systems that can synchronize messages between newsgroups and a website, but never between mailing lists and a website/forums. Maybe a news server would hold some level of potential for PLUG?

Those that like the list could cheerfully ignore them and if we put some though into it I think we can have a sane mechanism for contributing from the forum to the list (I mean that figuratively rather than literally, eg a good message tracking system so that the forum viewer can create an email to send to the list rather than an automated system that could fill the list with junk) PHPBB seems a forerunner as it ties well to postnuke, however I have heard it has or has had some serious security problems. Can the security problems be confirmed? or is there a comparable alternative, especially on with good aesthetics? After looking at the list on phpadvisory it doesn't look all that good. I will note that there are several very high profile sites using though, what have they done to secure it?
