why move from phpbb to smf?

[Billy99]

I've been using PHPBB2 for a long time and migrated my forums to PHPBB3 quite some time ago and I quite like it. In my opinion, it is very usable, nicely customizable, has a lot of cool addons and good community support. I especially like the advanced captchas. I haven't had a single spam bot with them.

I can't comment on SMF. I am a frequent user of PunBB forums though and they are quite fast as well. I can't comment on them from an administrative point of view.

Reading SMF code is very easy, making it far more usable and simple to learn. Put it this way, I knew nothing about coding until I started using SMF

+1 on that easy to modify easy to code in.

There are a few areas at which PHPBB excels but for 90% of forum stuff SMF is way better.

Could you explain which part? I've always learned that with coding, you can practically do anything you tell the software to do.
