BTW - I like the avatar.
Eek - there's been 5 security fixes in the 1.1.x branch since 1.1.4 - either way, it'd be best to upgrade (via the package manager; it's easy ) to 1.1.9 for the immediate short term.

As for 2.0, I'd say it's stable enough now. It's got some bugs of course, although it's very stable overall and many sites with millions of posts use it fine:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php - 2 million posts
http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/ - 5.8 million posts
http://www.hogville.net/yabbse/ - 3.5 million posts

So it is stable really; they just say "Don't use it on a production site" just in-case a serious bug was introduced or something. Although I'm also using it (and have been since SMF 2.0 Beta 2) on forums I'm admin at which has over 1 million posts, and I haven't seen any real bugs.

And thanks, it's a great show IMO
