Why to use SMF for your forum?

Some people go with expensive choices for their new forum, buying software such as vBulletin and Invision Power Board, but what they don't realize is that they can get the same value for free. Forum management software called "SMF", which stands for Simple Machines Forum, is just as good or better as some of the paid software. SMF's aim is to provide a free alternative to expensive forum software.

Some people say that the reason they go with paid software is for the modifications that you can get, which you cannot get for SMF. This actually is not true. There are about the same amount of free modifications for SMF as there are for the paid alternatives. The new SMF2 that is going to be released soon comes with a paid subscription module (the same as vbulletin) and many other modifications that are built in with no add on required.

Also, third party modifications are a breeze to install as well. Just to show you how easy it is, it's actually easier to install an SMF modification then it is for Invision Power Board, a $150 forum software.

Another thing that will set the new SMF apart from other free & paid forum software is that it has an intelligent style-sheet, with sliding menus and a calm design. Something that much forum software is lacking.

If you are looking for a software to run your new forum, SMF would be a great choice, for its amazing features, ease of use, and new features that it launches every time. To build your excitement, the new SMF2 actually comes with a warning modification, which is alike to the infraction system implemented with vBulletin.
