And also, things you can do with SMF are probably very limited(or probably needs to be developed from scratch). Not like other forum software whereas you could just install a plugin and you're good to go.
I am sure the version we have - is not relaying on any official plugin from SMF. They (theymos) made a lot of changes so far. This is really sad to hear...
I'm the only person who does development on the current code, and my time is limited.
I am not sure even after all these years - why theymos has not found a loyal member who can give him a helping hand or we don't have anyone at all among all these members?
We really should have an in-house IT team for the forum. Am I asking too much luxury?
