Xenforo is a good script and Kier is a fine coder. But I got a very bad taste in my mouth. I remember a few years ago they announced a special introductary sales that will last a few hours. As a developer I wanted to get a copy so I start to build mods for them. So I went there and asked how would I know when that sale will occur since it was not possible to subscribe to their announcement forum?
I was told I had to come every day and check for it. I complained that I had no such time to come and hang out by them. Then Brogan told me to keep on checking their twitter. To that I replied why would I have time to go on tweeter every 2 hours since that sale will last only a few hours? It could start right after I came and missed it the next day. To that Brogan replied to me: Well take it or leave it. So I left, really disgusted with that kind of arrogant attitude.
Here by vb, the big guys have always been correct toward me, and my personal opinion, 4.2.2 is still the most powerful forum out there.
I don't blame you one bit. I don't like giving my money to folks who act as if they don't give a damn. Internet Brands for one. They act as if they could not give a damn about the state of their flagship product and how disappointed the vBulletin community as a whole has reacted towards it.
My experience with XF has been really great though - so I can only say I've heard a few folks mention the BroganBot or whatever in passing. I've heard a few other not-so-kind nicknames as well
Apparently you're not the only person who got their feathers ruffled by him. I don't know him. So I can't comment on that LOL
