What does Supermod have that you would be interested in? 

Oh my! many things! Supermod was based on the forum software called YaBBSE which in turn was based off of the famous YABB. We simply took the YaBBSE concept and over time have added and rewritten many aspects of the code. Why? Well at first it was because YaBBSE was a pretty plain and boring forum package that you could add modifications made by others that added in features you wanted. However we constantly had to change someone else's code because their mod conflicted with another mod by the way they had the mod written. Because of this and knowing how frustrating that can be, and also a need to quickly install all my favorite mods quickly in each YabbSE test release, this came into existence. Basically Supermod was a companion baby of YaBBSE with it's own flavor of identity called YaBBSuperModded. But now that the makers of YaBBSE has decided to leave their forum software behind and come out with a entirely new package, so we've become a little more than just a companion to YaBBSE. We are evolving into a smarter more developed contact management / portal / forum based system unlike any other you will ever find on the Internet! Our goal is to transform Supermod into one very sophisticated full featured package that'll do almost anything you want it to do! You'll have all the power and control simply by defining what features you want to use and see on your forum by selecting and defining your preferences in the control panels.

The ONLY thing you have to do if you are a current YaBBSE owner is to grab our Supermod archive and copy over your installed Yabbse, run the UpgradeSuperMod.php file, make some minor changes in your template, go through all your new settings and enjoy the bells and whistles!
