"I would like to create a forum. What kind of software to choose? This is
one of the questions that people ask very often in discussion boards around
the web. One of the best answers is "Simple Machines Forum (SMF)", says
Alexander Avramov, Marketing director of Host Color LLC. He adds that after
the deployment of SMF, Host Color's customers can choose a discussion board
between 3 different forum software.

SMF is professional, very elegant and easy to manage discussion board. It
has a custom made template engine which enables web forum owners to
customize the lay-out of their message boards. SMF also offers great SSI (Server Side Includes),
a function which simplifies interaction between the forum and other parts of the website.
It is a PHP based application and uses a MySQL database.

Simple Machines Forum is now part of PowerTools, the Host Color's
proprietary advanced web hosting application. It combines a script library
and auto installer which enables website owners to set up many useful
programs by a single click on their control panel. PowerTools features MODx,
Drupal, Joomla and TextPattern CMS; WordPress and B2evolution blog
