As Hyp said, HTML is a huge risk. Eventho we are using the latest version of this forum, there are always new ways of exploiting XSS (Cross Side Scripting) which leads to ppl getting hacked.
XSS is pretty common and seems like a normal/safe URL but when u click the links, it can send u a totally different site where u can pick virus, cookie grabers, etc.
Is never safe to enable HTML in forums.

1. HUGE Forum load time.
2. Possibilitiy of embedding Javascript that can either
a) steal cookies
B) modify cookies
c) implant unwanted code into your computer
The fact is, once you implant HTML onto a site you don't even have to click on a link - just by visiting a forum it could pose the probability of making your computer a target for a hacking attempt.
But, if there was better control over who could post in a forum (like mods Ok'ing pending applicants for a forum I.E. a non-public forum), using html in a forum wouldn't hurt the scripting for the forum itself?
