  • Its trully elegant and fast. Everything can be done with just mouse clicks. It uses very little resources and processes datas as fast as you click on it.

    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

  • You guys really rock! I love your webinstall feature, does all the dirty installation work for you while you're drinking beer! Complex forum or a small corporate BB board - SMF is gotta be your choice.

  • I've been using SMF for years on several sites, it's the best free forum software I've seen.

  • It is mostly the fastest forum ever, with a great support, clean codes. Whatever one may need.

  • Not only is it free, but it's well-written and easy to extend or modify. Much, much better than phpBB, its closest competitor.
