Goodbye vBulletin, hello XenForo!

Post by IcEWoLF »

We finally dumped vBulletin and moved on to XenForo and I have to say it's the best platform I've ever used.
I am glad I chose XenForo over Invision Power Board!

We also designed a custom style, which took us about a month and half to complete because XenForo was a new system so it took a while to learn the ins and outs.

Let me know what you guys think.

P.S: There are still few bugs that need to be addressed.

Plenty of plugins for XenForo, actually XenForo has more updated and relevant plugins than IPB.

lol.

I like xenforo, its community is great and everything but the way you write stuff is a little ugly. When everything is without spaces it seems a little ugly, instead vbulletin that is differnt.

By the way, it's increible how do you have 77k+ post with only 400 members o.O.

Oh crap never kept track of that we have 152,431 posts lol

We probably going to do a vote in november if we are going with xenforo or IPboard. I like xenforo concept but IPboard is never a bad choice either.

I know vbulletin is turning for the worst in version 5, which is a shame :O

vBulletin is god aweful after 3.8.x. Partially because another company bought it over. XenForo is pretty awesome in terms of features, and its a good alternative for smaller communities (in terms of price). Its significantly faster than IPB in terms of performance too.

Our community used to vBulletin back when it didn't suck (like someone else said, basically 3.8.x).

We're currently doing a brief stint on enjin while our new XenForo site is developed. I will have to agree that XenForo is quite the excellent piece of board software.
