*Simple Machines Forum* is an open source solution to creating a full-purpose
message board on your self-hosted website. Simple Machines Forum (better
known by the acronym SMF) is seeing some success with developers by taking
the complexity out of message board creation. Similar to the more widely
known phpBB message board script, Simple Machines Forum's creators claim it
is less subject to security threats than other message board scripts in its
class. In fact, there really aren't that many major differences between
Simple Machines Forum and others. Simple Machines Forum offers a complete
administration panel, with the creation of the forum and subforum (tree
system), the ability to create groups, choose a theme and altering the layout
to your tastes. Everything is there. Simple Machines Forum highlights include
a very light code, which ultimately makes it much faster than phpBB. Another
nice surprise is that it's fairly easy to integrate with content management
systems such as Joomla!. *If you are looking for a forum creation tool that
is both fast and light, Simple Machines Forum should do the trick.*Download
