Has anyone checked out DCForum2K? What do you think about its use for a site with much less traffic than Gossamer?

From the sample code I looked at on their site, they are using ReadParse, which right away tells me their scripts aren't very secure (this was in their "Password Authentication Script" no less).

Thanks, Gordon.
Much appreciated.

It is a really bad script for the following reasons:

1) Insecure as Gordon mentioned.
2) Disk space and bandwidth hog.
3) Not an easily customizable script (for novice programmers).
4) Lacks a lot of features that other message board and bulletin board scripts offer.

and there are many other reasons....
