My New Thoughts On vBulletin

It was also impossible to keep up with new threads no matter how often you logged in per day. So where are we today with an average of 20 to 30 members online and around 50 new threads per day.

Those that still feel that Xenforo is not a contender better start thinking again

So are you still using vB or have you switched to xenforo?

This time next week my import will be completed to xenforo

All, i see is 56! votes only, 56 new client may be? That is really a strong contender :d sarc // XF total members --> Members:50,957. Sorry but that is the false hype and propaganda I was talking about.

It gets really boring by now that after a year, we still see Xenforo members posting about XF on VB threads that contain complaints or issues and then the topic gets hijacked and changes into an argument between the two. I hardly see any VB members posting on Xenforo saying VB is better because we've seen how the community acts over there.

I've tested Xenforo myself and never liked it, its admin panel is a mess and lacks many features, not to mention that they are there to just be yet another forum software, no innovation or something new to bring to the market and they prefer to use the quickest shortcut like their redactor editor http://imperavi.com/redactor/ instead of http://ckeditor.com/

In any way, this thread is about VB not Xenforo.

[DirtRider]

PS I am a VB customer BTW and yes it is a small number of total votes but surprising large number of then come from VB. What will it take for some to actually see that VB is in serious trouble right now. Will it only be the day when VB closes shop or will that also be seen as um well you see it is not really that bad ........

Um also if you did miss it the poll says "What forum software did you use before XF" to me that would imply that I was using x Software now I have changed to XF software or did I miss something here lol

[New Joe]

Thanks for the info DR, and don't worry about katie hunter, just a disgruntled xenforo customer, not that many of them around..lol..unlike the 100s of 1000s of disgruntled vB customers..

[DirtRider]

lol Thanks, so what is your game plan then

Again, this is not a thread about XenForo, it is about vBulletin.

Also as stated in the OP:

If you don't have any constructive criticism to offer, best bet is to not post, or I see this thread following suite like all the other threads that go off track, it will get closed.

This highlights how many have come from vB rather than the overall increase comparison on users on both. It doesn't lead any conclusion either way. It only a statistic from origin traffic.

hmm, we could consider why they would bother if XF are doing so well. Does their posting here suggest a confidence in their product or a desire to win over more?

Stick with vB 4 for the time being.
Maybe one day I'll do the switch just can't be bothered with all the work involved at the present time. Lucky vB 4 works okish so it will do for the time being.

Once such as these Threads get started it's only really going to go one way.

Here XF members coming like usual trying to hijack a VB conversation like they always do, it is getting old.. way too old may be? And Joe, you don't even know me! (: so, ok whatever.

Can we please grow up! the issue should be addressed from the top IB, contacting IB and complaining about their management of VB.
