First off it's phpbb thats causing the problems. They need to keep phpBB up to date. Second, you can't tell that the server is insecure just by running that simple nmap command. NMap just returns areas of interest so you can look into them further. It says aol but it's just reporting what services are known to run on that port. For example I run my mythweb apache server on port 1234, which nmap reports as "hotline". Many of those services are required for most websites like http/https, ftp, ssh, and pop3. Just because those apps are running doesn't mean the server is insecure. They could have a firewall running and those are the open ports (they might want to firewall mysql, however). Sorry if this is getting too OT.
