Start your own forum.
I agree with your last post. It's not hard to make forum more secure. I've seen exchanges that give you layers and layers of things you have to do to change a password starting from a 4 digit pin number, then an email confirmation and ending with a 2fa code.
Additional security features will be available in epochtalk. Theymos probably doesn't want to put too much work into the current forum software when the switch to epochtalk is planned anyway.
