How important is it to update a CMS, blog and forum site?

Post by froggyboy604 »

I notice there are regularly updated versions of phpBB3, Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, oscommerce, etc.

They are usually minor updates of the same version like 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 . They usually come out once a month .

But, I notice a lot of people don't update their web software, and their site seems fine.

Generally these updates are security fixes, code optimisations etc. and should really be updated.
I never really understood Thursdays.
