Existence of a CMS as a tool in making a website has been used extensively by the communities. Currently, there are many CMS available as options, especially CMS bulletin board. The number of options is an obstacle for someone to choose a suitable CMS to fulfill their needs. Because of the lack of research on this CMS bulletin board comparison, this research tries to compare and search the best CMS bulletin board. This research uses metrics for modeling and software measurement to identify the caracteristics of existing CMS bulletin board. This research used Goal/Question/Metric (GQM) for modelling method and CMS Matrix as the parameters. As for the CMS bulletin board, in this study, we choose PhpBB, MyBB, and SMF. The results of this study indicate that SMF bulletin board has the best score compared to MyBB and phpBB CMS bulletin board.
