ayas, just thought i'd make a useless post....
I've been mucking around with different script for years. Nuke/Dragonfly, phpBB, Yabb, Mambo/Joomla. I'm no techgeekmodhacker, just a simple user. I really like some of those scripts but after exploring SMF a bit more recently and all the mods it has like SMF Media Gallery and the ease of installation etc, i'm pretty impressed, so much so that i've scrapped some sites and merged a couple in to one using SMF, with Simple Portal & Media Gallery. I'm having a good time playing with it.
cheers!
