Shame about the avatars but I'm not surprised that theymos takes forum security very seriously. This forum is pretty much the epicenter of the Bitcoin community. If the community here was compromised in some way, then Bitcoin itself would most likely be affected too. Perhaps not on a technical level but you get the idea.
I was really wondering and to be honest this is the only forum with big community that I've seen that use Simple machines forum software,and not sure about this informations but heard that theymos pays 350k $ for developement on this forum ? Can anyone confirm?
Really? $350,000 for this forum? That sounds like too much. And isn't vBulletin normally considered to be the best forum software? Although my information might be out of date. And I don't think vBulletin is open source either.
I heard that someone (theymos perhaps?) was going to change the forum software but I'm not sure. There is also a mirror of the forum at bitcointa.lk which uses a forum software called XenForo which I've never heard of before. It calls itself "the Bitcointalk community with a proper forum software" but I don't think anyone uses it for anything other than finding deleted posts.
