Does Anyone Still Use SMF?

[Belthazar]

A few years back SMF seemed to have been a pretty popular software. Now I rarely see anything being made on it. Does anyone really still use it?

I honestly thought they stopped development on the software and it became one of those ancient softwares; I really don't see why people would still use it, it's not really up to any modern standards now.

It is still a fast loading forum, the only problem is the theme but that can be changed.

I'm still using it on a private forum and still love it.

Never used it.

I have used it many of times and like it a lot, they are still developing it and current on beta 3 or 4 release on 2.1, which has some great features.

You should take a look at their beta of version 2.1, it's pretty much bringing that whole software into the more modern world with a new theme/style, features that people actually want, and a few other things that have been fully redone. I see SMF being used on more game related forums such as for clans, guilds, etc. than just for any other type of usage.

I very rarely now see anyone using SMF. I remember using once way back when I first starting creating forums and I could never get on with the software and as much as they released updates there never seemed to be any big changes and it always stayed so basic. I wasn't aware they were still around to be honest as I hadn't heard or seen anything of them for a long time. I will have to check it out again and see how much it's changed as I really do feel they were lacking a lot when it came to comparing to other forum software.

Do you have any examples of boards that use SMF?

I remember seeing this around a lot before, now not so much. Personally, I never used it, thought about it a few times, but never made the plunge. Maybe I will take another look at it since it is being mentioned.

A few examples are mentioned under Large Forums Running SMF. :flushed:
