Remind me again, why are we using SMF?

[gigabytecoin]

Most every "professional" forum on the internet uses vBulletin.

There are some good reasons for that.

Why are we any different?

I've used both, and I prefer SMF to vBulletin. Still, I like Vanilla better than both.

Is vBulletin free and open-source?

It's not as pretty but AKCS holds up under extreme load much better than either SMF or vBulletin.

xenForo takes the cake.

No. PHPBB is tho and it's even better than SMF imho.

Why can't I see a list of all my started topics in a row? Whenever I want to find a topic I created I have to search for it or make sure I bookmark it after creating it.

I agree about PHPBB. I have run several boards (not nearly as active as this, though) for many years with PHPBB. I highly recommend it.
