Ummmmmm well that's not really fair - phpBB has had 6 updates over the 6 months
I've been running it, and only 2 were for major security issues. And most of the
exploits are because the site didn't keep up-to-date with the latest updates, or
they run other software on the site that was exploited. I'd much rather use
software that gets regular security updates when exploits are found, than one
which only gets an update every 6 months.
If you're gonna put security forward as an argument against web interfaces, at
least get your facts straight :)
