Honestly, if they charge >$180 I can see it splitting the users (the same ones that are generating all the excitement right now) into two classes: Those who can afford it, and those who know Kier and Mike, love the software, and want to support the project but are forced to watch from the sidelines because the license is too expensive.
Yeah, the software is great and all, but I can't see how some of you are seriously suggesting paying $250 or more for a version 1 alpha product.
My advice to the team would be to make it cheap to start with (especially with the early adopter sale), so that almost everyone can afford to get a license and everyone is included. Start with a really strong community where (almost) everyone has a license, and then let the software grow in value as the community builds and you add features. If you come out with it priced at $250 or more, I think you could potentially kill a lot of the buzz by excluding those that can't afford it.
Just my opinion.
Now ya tell me!
Now what do I do in this brave new forum world.....cut and paste, or hyperlinky...

Agreed.Whatever is decided, I would recommend not changing it frequently. IPS had made a number of changes to the pricing/licensing a while back in a short period of time which resulted in a lot of confused and upset customers. When IB had changed the pricing and licenses dramatically (not to mention made it confusing, especially when add-on prices kept getting readjusted), and split vB4 and vB3 owners, it really infuriated people.
I hope that whatever is picked stays the same for a long period of time. Jelsoft had a nice pricing scheme that was easily understood, didn't confuse people, and was stable. I think the only increase came when VAT had to be included.
I think it will come in a range of $150-200. They mentioned xF will be competitively priced against vB ($195) and IPB ($149.99).Let's hope it's at least $249, because that's what it is worth to me.
How about IE6
I know someone will ask this so I will get it over with. I don't think it will be a deal breaker for most but for a couple of people it might.

But I think we are going to shock people with how quickly we can develop with the XenForo framework.
You can install VirtualBox on your computer and install XP with IE6 and see it for yourself. It's like computer inside of computer.I don't have IE6.
