I will most likely continue using MyBB as long as it receives timely security updates and works for my projects. I haven't really bothered to mess with other forum software since I started using MyBB two years ago.
I have heard good things about phpBB 3.1. I'm interested in testing it out when it actually releases.
So far, the differences between phpBB 3.1 and MyBB 1.8 are miniscule. The responsive theme and modern coding standards seem to be the biggest advantages over MyBB 1.8 I am still choosing to use MyBB 1.8 as I have trust in the software and its competitors don't appeal to me much.
One thing that frustrates me is the latest Github attack on MyBB. I was dumbfounded to even know that was possible. A person could hack into an admin's account on Github and have the chance to destroy every MyBB forum? That will be extremely bad PR for MyBB if words ever gets out (but so far I haven't read anything outside of MyBB).
