I went to about on this site and clicked on contact.
I saw this address:
***ADDRESS REMOVED***
Is this real? Is it a factory or house?
Joe
Yes, it is real, that is the official address for the company.
...o.0
Is it a building or a home?
Look at google maps that will tell you whats there. Wonder if I sent a letter would I get a letter back. (Off to send a Letter.)

Think about it: SMF is free, and we're all volunteers. Can an all-volunteer company afford to have a real office building?
Well anyway, what would be the point of having an office? If you can just sit right in front of your computer and finish your work from there
it must at least one computer and internet connection there, in that underground bunker..
lol
You are correct.

Plus it's a good place to put SMF's servers. It saves on cooling costs, with a nice natural breeze.
Hope one day SMF will be the most popular forum software and perhaps we might just need an office ;)

Not to mention extra security from the cactus', which someone on the team had a bad encounter with...
Lmao ... are you serious ! XD
Yes, it is a real address.
When the LLC was formed, we needed a physical address for the license. They turned down the first application when I listed Internet as the location ;)
No, it isn't a good location for servers due to the high temperatures.
Yes, there is a lot of cactus.
Yes, one of the Team Members had a bad encounter with cactus (more than once) ;)
Lol ... Ahahahaha!! Wow!!! So if you go there ... there will be someone working there? Or what's really inside?
Nothing of SMF interest, instead watch out for the team attending conferences and events, if you see some event you think we should attend, please post it and we'll send along a decent show for you :P
If that's not good enough, come see me in the UK :P
Oh...so are there team members really living around that area?
If we tell you that, we'd have to kill you.
osnap !
Secret Underground SMF headquarters!! Scary!!!!
They have a nuke silo, too. ;)
SMF headquarters:

The servers are not at corporate headquarters. They are in a secret bunker far away. (Well, secret if you don't know how to search ARIN.)

Well what would IPB or phpBB want? Unless SMF has went over extreme chart statistics!
I don't think any of our competition would touch our servers, see our values :)

Well we all know the soar losers that exist in the world! Just a thought :P
Does phpBB or IPB run larger servers than SMF does?

You'd be surprised at how much security there is in some datacenters.
You'd also be surprised at the lack of security at others :P
How about SMF? Are we complicated secure 0.o?
The datacenter we are in is a well respected datacenter and regarded quite highly among the webhosting community :) Also our server admin lives close by :)
As for the size of our server "cluster", it is impressive ;) Specifics I don't know but we could take a few times our current traffic :)
Maybe dschwab9 can post some shiny pictures :P
