Title: How Frequently Is Simple Portal Used To Enhance SMF?
Post by: newtoallthis on February 27, 2011, 11:17:12 AM

Have just installed SMF 2 RC5 and added SP 2.3.3. Looks so much better after the addition.

What percentage of SMF sites have added Simple Portal, do you think??

I can say it's pretty popular. It used to be in the top 5 popular mods (it's weekly) list at simplemachines.org Mod Site for long durations, especially when when we make a new release. Now it's 5th most downloaded mod in SMF Mod Site:

There was also this poll at simplemachines.org forums:

I think 50% is a pretty good achievement in ~3 years.

Thanks for getting back. That's an amazing stat.. Well done and keep up the excellent work.

Simple Portal has made a massive improvement to my site and made it a far better experience for users.

Just to be clear, though.

Are you estimating that 50% of all portals installed are Simple Portal or 50% of those who install SMF go on to install Simple Portal?

That's the poll result, rather than my estimate and I would say it's the latter considering the "Other/Neither" option in the poll.
