Just visited the hacked site. Any chance there was malware on it? Do I need to scan?

Yeah that's why I bumped the thread. Thought it was funny how Adam said don't get it cause the software is not secure, then find out the software's site was hacked. Pretty much proved his point.

Told you
I'm often vindicated when its to late (for someone else).
I'll state something I know is true. Someone will demand I back that up, but that's not the type of person I am. I'm the kind who will educate people "as the source" and not typically the person who goes quoting another sources or trying to prove my word.
That's not to suggest that the knowledge I share always comes from me though. But it is often how I pass it on.
People either listen or they don't.

Weird.
Forums have always been a small part of phpFox.
@DRE @Adam Howard
I think I know why: Google: phpfox security.

PHPFox has a lot of great features. It has had countless regular releases and updates since the start of this thread. Including security updates. If PHPFox ever decides to offer a full featured forum script as well it would become a serious competitor for other community software.
IMHO the features PHPFox has are best to be developed as xf addons, because xf is a good platform to develop upon. A profile addon with the similar functions would be a major upgrade to xf.

I was pretty impressed with his site, that's cool it got better over time. I would like to join a phpfox site and play around a bit.

I've been trying to sell my licenses to PHPFox forever.
It's a script that has a ton of half finished poorly designed features. the owners don't think like webmasters, they just listen to random hobbyists who don't have any clues about websites.
The times I tried using it, I got replies from people saying they don't need to be on Facebook twice.
The forums and addons are barely existent.
The backend is rather unorganized and the template system is way too much work.
And NO big sites use it. If you ask them to see some examples, they say they can't show you due to privacy but that's their way of admitting that they don't exist.
I would stay far away from that script.

Not to mention that for YEARS users begged for spam and SEO fixes- only to see most things not done.
There's just WAY too many modules in that script that it prohibits them from actually making the modules any good. The photo battle is a perfect example - you can't even pick which photos vs each other. It's all random. So you have a monster truck vs a woman's profile picture, which obviously makes no sense, and it's remained that way ever since.
Little things like that make modules on fox pretty much useless.
