Experience with XenForo? - Nickie - 20.10.2013
Hello SA:MP pals,
Quick question regarding the forum software, XenForo. Have any of you had experience with it? If so, what has your experience been like with support, utilities, etc..
I have been with VBulletin for many years and I have been thinking about purchasing XenForo for another site. I am well aware that I can go onto multiple sites and find out the features they offer. However, that is not what I am asking. I am asking what has your experience been like from your perspective. Just trying to make a solid decision before anything is bought.

XenForo is great, I've used it on other forum communities but why purchase the new license if you've already got a vB one? IMO vB is much better and I would probably stick with it if I already had a license for it. Unless it's an old license and you need to upgrade then I'd say go with XenForo.
My 2 cents

Thank you for your assistance, though. I appreciate it.

XenForo runs for about 120-150, something that is affordable currently to me.

As V1ceC1ty above said; go for it. Be sure to browse through some free and paid themes first. If you don't like any of them (like me), you should have some money to order a custom one. Good luck.

Xenforo is a solid forum. I don't have any personal experience but I know people that have, have heard no complaint so far. If you're looking for something to match vbulletin, I doubt you'd go wrong with xenforo.

I actually liked it more than vB

It was amazing, the Node Tree was the only flaw - it should've been easier to use.
Other than that, it was flawless and I loved it. Every 80 or so dollars of it.

From what i read on TAZ people are very unhappy because of the lacking features in XenForo
