Its created by the same guys who created the script for LW!

LiveWire was originally based on IkonBoard which is free and as you can see, easily customisable if you learnt PERL. As far as i know, LiveWire has very little of the original Ikonboard code left, david has modified, customised and optimised it to hell and back.

There are a lot of XSS holes in Livewire's script though, I need something up to date and secure (with constant updates).

Ikonboard will have been heavily updated from the version David used. This is essentially a different script.

My new favourite is http://www.mybboard.net/

I've been very impressed with this one so far (free of course).  Vbulletin is good, but it's not good enough to pay for...

As for why etc, test them yourself, its a fairly personal thing which one you like.

Livewire has never really needed security, i mean a) whos gonna bother? b) what would they gain?

David closes the holes as he finds them but really, noone can gain anything from hacking LW so why would they bother

IMHO PHPBB is the best free one. It also has quite a big bunch of hacks and mods. If you want a full CMS based on phpBB I recommend Icy Phoenix.

Demo : free forums
