Reason 1:

I was little nervous to move a live board to SMF expecting many errors and downtime of the forum. But Converter made my life easier.

Reason 2:

Hesitated to use a free forum script because of support issues. But people here are very helpful and provide good support.

Reason 3:

Plenty of mods (though I only installed two of them). Don't like to install many mods as it make the forum function erratic. (Using out of the box is little out of my agenda)

Package manager is another best feature. It reminds me of Wordpress Plugins installer. :)

Reason 4:

Many themes making it easy to change SMF look and layout.

Reason 5:

Excellent online manual. Everybody should check it before asking any question here.


Guys! you are doing a good job!!

I really hope to visit these forums and contribute some of my time here.

Thanks for the feedback! And kudos on choosing SMF.

Seems we're getting a good handful of vBulletin converts.

Cause of the new vb4 release and it being over priced.

Glad you like the software Eliana. Out of curiosity, which SMF version did you pick?

Me? Heh, I've been using this since 1.1 RC1. ;)

2.0 RC2 is my drug of choice. Though a version with many of Antechinus' fixes is nice, too.

True. Plus I am not interested in their blog, CMS extentions of the forums etc etc. I need a simple board just to post tutorials and provide support. Vbulletin is for full blown forum management.
