Phpbb or SMF ?

[BrendonA]

I am currently stuck between choosing Phpbb or SMF forum software.

So, I would like you guys to tell me which do you prefer and why.

Thanks !

phpbb is a wonderful forum the best out there imho but not user friendly & have tons of bloat.

SMF is extremely useful if you like user-friendliness in regard to styles and modifications. It's just as iffy to install mods in phpBB3 as it is in phpBB2. SMF allows you to install themes and mods via zip files directly, phpBB3 doesn't have this yet. SEO Services

I prefer SMF on Phpbb,
It is really difficult to manage PHPBB,
while SMF is very easy to manage.

This is one of those debates about opinions same as vB vs ipb

I would definitely go with phpbb it has much nicer options and the admin area is nicer as well imo.
