Migrating to Xenforo or other forum software? Read this first

My messages below might get confusing as i'm in hurry writing.

Whatever software you're migrating the result will be all the same. Don't expect migrating to modern-codes CMS will get you better - like myself - i thought migrating to Xenforo then my site could catch up with Google , the answer is NO. Google will keep changing their algorithm and rules. I even ended up spent too much cost migrating. If i could turn back time, i will stick with VB and just do change codes on PHP & Mysql compatibility, and start working with great contents in the site portal, perhaps using Wordpress. Majority members prefer old vB features than newer ones.

I spent too much on Xenforo since their function not so comprehensive like vB so i ended up spending much with money-hunger developers for a lot of custom addons that charging insanely rates $70-100 /hour.

Admit that your members will give priority to social media that forum. And there will be irresponsible members redirecting discussion into other mediums like Telegram, Whatspp et etc , you will losing great members slowly.
