My community has such potential to be good within a few years, I really don't protect it. I really should but I think it's just time. I don't have a lot of it, but I would also like to hear how you guys and gals do your security stuff.
The only thing I do, is upgrade to the newer version as soon as possible.

I have changed phpbb on my database to another name so that if anyone is ever looking for phpbb they wont find it.
My host backups automatically every 24 hours so I dont have to worry about that though I do keep a fully updated version in my back up folder on my hard drive as well as the normal version in forum folder.

Ah excellent! Now I see how it works...

I had a bunch of details posted here, but then I thought better of itemizing my security measures in a public forum.
Suffice it to say I have a multi-tiered approach at the server and forum levels. And I backup my database and all site files daily

| i keep my phpbb up-to-date. after all, none of the other precautions you might take really amount to much if you don't even do that. |
