Security-wise, this board is many wrungs above what that one was (to me, anyway). I didn't have much of a problem breaking into it. From what I've seen, this host isn't weak to the same methods of session-hijack and script injection. vBulletin's flaws are pretty mundane in comparison, and require extended knowledge (embedding scripts and code directly into JPEG images, and other odd work-arounds) to exploit.
