There's no moderator support.

Huh? I've improved the moderator tools a lot. And this doesn't impact you much, since you're not a moderator.

There's no subscription support.

Watchlist.

There's no advanced editor support.

I probably wouldn't introduce one of those fancy WYSIWYG editors even if I could do so for free. I hate using them on other sites because they interfere with the features my browser gives me for textboxes, and they would encourage people to use more annoying markup. I do not want to see people making all of their posts in some unusual color and font in order to stand out or be unique. That's just annoying.

Some improvements could be made, especially for more complex features like tables.

There's no useful search feature.

It isn't too bad. I use it pretty frequently, though Google is better for some searches.

"Search this forum" "Search this thread"

This feature exists... Use the search box while you're in a thread and it'll search that thread. Use it when you're in a section and it'll search that section.

There's no reputation support.

There won't be a global reputation system. This forum is for discussion, which global reputation systems interfere with.

A web of trust reputation system would be good.

There's no auction support.

There's no classified support.

These would be nice, but they're not priorities. I worry about supporting discussion first and trading second.

There's no spam protection.

Have you ever even seen automated spam outside of the newbies section?

There's no image gallery.

What's wrong with posting links? Then you can handle the links however you want in your browser. Use a browser-based image gallery userscript if you want.

There's no attachment management.

There won't be, since the forum won't support attachments.

There's no streaming/AJAX thread updates.

That'd be a good feature, but it's not a priority.

There's no advanced profiles.

Advanced in what way?

I'm not saying that we're staying with SMF forever. There are many improvements to make, and I'm uneasy about SMF's security. But SMF works pretty well.
