Shrink:
It is really need to change ? if yes, then please suggest what is better option for me.

Arantor:
-sigh-

No, that's not what he said. He said that you really don't need to worry about any of these limits because if ever they *were* a problem, they could be changed.

The odds of you hitting any of SMF's limits are basically nil, no forum run on SMF has yet hit these limits, in fact even the largest forum in the world is still below these limitations.

MrPhil:
Dealing with software requires a much different engineering mindset than dealing with hardware. The investment is cheap (SMF is free; your time is the only cost). It's easily changed if necessary. You don't have to sweat so much about making the right choice up front (with detailed analysis) and worry about lifetime costs and payback periods. If you made the wrong choice, it's fairly quick and cheap to switch to something else, especially if you haven't gone far with it. SMF is certainly a good initial choice, and you will hopefully find it satisfactory for the life of the project.

Compare this to a design choice when building a car. Once it's off the drawing board (or CAD system) and the design is made and suppliers tool up and materials are purchased, it becomes very expensive (in both time and money) to make a change (see gas tank, Pinto). Your choice for forum software is practically no cost and takes almost no time to change, if needed. Stop analyzing this thing to death and start installing!

Like what? Something totally stupid and bizarre like how many people can sit on SMF until it breaks? Heh. Try to answer THAT one.
