 What is Simple Machines Forum?
Simple Machines Forum — SMF in short — is a free, professional grade
software package that allows you to set up your own online community
within minutes. Its powerful custom made template engine puts
you in full control of the lay-out of your message board and with our
unique SSI - or Server Side Includes - function you can let your forum
and your website interact with each other. SMF is written in
the popular language PHP and uses a MySQL database. It is designed to
provide you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while
having an absolute minimal impact on the resources of the server. SMF
is the next generation of forum software - and best of all it is and
will always remain completely free! Who Uses SMF?
