Since I brought it up....
I'm only stating from personal experience. I believe the version I was
using at the time was 2.0.3. I think they are up to 2.0.18 now. So,
there have been a plethora of fixes since.
Losing the board once, understandable. Things crash. That's why we do
back-ups :) But when it crashed the 2nd time not too long after, I
didn't even bother looking for my tar.gz backup... I went looking for
some more stable software. I've had 0 issues in almost 2.5 years now
with invisionboard on a high-traffic 800,000-1,000,000 page views a
month site.

The only recent mention of a hole in invision is here:
http://secunia.com/advisories/17443/
and the solution states to upgrade to the latest version, 2.1.3, thus
leaving no outstanding known holes.
As an aside: when i switched, my bandwidth also had a DRAMATIC drop.
In fact, today, with MANY more users since then (probably 4x the
traffic) I'm still transferring under 50gb a month. I was hitting
60-70GB a month all the time on phpbb. Something to keep in mind if you
have a smaller box or limited plan.
