Last time I checked, SMF was free.. Or is it going to be paid?
Grudge:
It is free!
Beta 6 is just that, a beta. We don't necessarily make all the betas open betas, as it is actually a lot more work supporting a new beta installed by thousands as opposed to hundreds. Once any bugs in Beta 6 have been fixed we will start working towards getting the RC finished, and it is then that everyone will be able to download it. Everyone will get SMF for free - just some have to wait a little longer!

Well said. This is how the Charter Membership program has worked since the beginning of the project where they had access to betas before the first ever public beta. Beta 6 is not a critical release, but more of a point between beta 5 and RC 1. Instead of testing all of the new features with thousands of members at once, we decided to test it with a few hundred instead.
Skoen:
True, true, they're just trying to make the $50 the Charter Members pay to be worth it. And there's still hope to add a few features before the first RC1, and of course some extra features and snippes before the Final version is ready.
klumy:
the features sounds nice. Keep up the good work. I can't wait til the finalversion will arrive.
