Hey friends, just installed myBB to make my 1st forum. All I can say is 'WOW'!! A really really great job from the developers. The more I explore, the more I am loving it! The interface is really simple yet powerful.

There're hell of options in the control panel.
I knew that myBB is a great script, but I didn't expect that much
in it. Thank you !!!

Now, As I've completed the forum so I want to know how can I make it more secure?
-I've already deleted 'install' directory and
changed permission of the files as mentioned in the installation
instructions.
- To keep spammers away, I've activated 'random question answer' plugin.

So is there anything I should do?
I've already using the genuine antivirus on my machine
and hosting my forum on hostgator secure servers.

Thank you !!
