Welcome
We hope you have a great stay here in our little corner of the web. Feel free to make yourself at home. We will try to make this experience here for you a good one. So pull up a chair and get comfortable. Community is a big part of this site. We want everyone to feel like they belong and are a part of things. Introduce yourself after you join so we can all get to know you and what your about.
Support
The sole purpose of this site is to make your SM Forum creation/administration a lot easier. We do this by providing you with a friendly, relaxed community based environment, with members that are more than willing to help you out with anything you may need. If you're just starting out with SMF or your a novice then this is the place for you. We will help you learn what you need and teach you some tricks along the way.
SMF Mods
We also provide support for our own package modifications as well as mods from third-party authors. You can also find Theme support and custom code that has been put together by our members. Not only do we provide support for the ever popular SMF software but we also have a very nice members area for you to relax in. "From the beginner coder to the pro; we can help out. Come on in and check us out."

Newsgroups is what started it all off. These were the first forums around. They were not pretty to look at but they got the job done. These go as far back as the 70's. Yup, forums have been around a very long time. Most of them at the start were not for the public but for corporations and such and were held on an intranet, not the internet.
