forum question

[Delirium_]

hey

I have some questions about a forum like this one.
I need a forum for my mod \"all out fairy tale\" which is going to come out of it\'s slumber quite soon but I don\'t know what to take.

I don\'t want to pay so I considered MyBBoard (like this one) or PHPBBoard (like my previous).
The quarrel i have with phpbb is that it\'s easily hackable and I had a nasty invasion of russian spam whatevers on my previous forum.
mybboard looks good but all the modification sites i seem to find are down

My question now is which one to take and which kind of mods are crucial for a forum and most of all which mods are good... I need some mods already: calender, rules, ... any nifty features are welcome.

Id appreciate it if you could help with your insight and tips about this. ASAP
