That's a tiny bit unfair. phpBB has a huge install base, so it's going to
have issues discovered more often than a not-so-used BB. If a million people
are using hammer A, and a hundred are using hammer B, hammer A will get more
error reports no matter which one is 'better'.
 In a similar vein, if you don't need all the modularity/features/etc
associated with phpBB, perhaps a smaller, tighter, less-problem-prone BB
would be an option. I have no suggestions on any of those, though.
