About
ElkArte is a modern, free, open source, message board / forum software written primarily in PHP and SQL with a BSD license. See our Release history
ElkArte started out in 2012 in the form of Dialogo, before changing its name in late 2012 to ElkArte.
ElkArte may be a new project but comes from a long family history in the forum world. YaBB kicked off the show written initially by Zef Hemel in 2000 using Perl, before being splintered into the PHP edition YaBB SE by Jeff Lewis and Joseph Fung in 2001, SMF became the secret creation of Unknown W. Brackets to be shown to the world in 2003.
ElkArte is written by many former contributors and core developers of the old SMF platform.
ElkArte is a successor fork to SMF and aims to modernize the code, implement new features and make forums more relevant in a time of unprecedented social interaction.
ElkArte is designed to provide you with all the features you need for a full featured community forum and website right out of the box. Some of our Features:
