MegaBBS vs SMF

**omnikron** · 08-26-2007, 12:57 AM

trying to figure out the difference between these two software. SMF been using it for quite sometime and love every minute of it then there MegaBBS co-admin a board that uses this software found out very little mods exists different coding plus some other quarks about it. Just wondering if anyone else uses MegaBBS and if so what is so great about it compared to SMF

Never heard of MegaBBS before today, but doing some reasearch on it now...

The biggest difference is that MegaBBS is written in ASP, while SMF is written in PHP.

I don't really have a place to test MegaBBS, and they don't seem to have a feature list anyplace, so I don't know what other differences there are (other than the few minor differences that I see by looking at their forum).

Among the open-scripts one, I have used both phpBB3 and SMF. phpBB3 always takes the lead. It has got more mods, themes etc. On the other hand, SMF doesn’t give you much features as compared to phpBB3.
