Just curious on what the members here would pay for xenforo ... I put the price in yearly terms for simplification ... this could serve as a guide for the owners and lets me test the poll feature
I think a good admin demo would be more benefit.
That won't make it very user friendly. You would lose the edit side of things.
I pretty much liked the old vBulletin licensing system which is also used by IPS. You buy the license for a set amount and then make renewals. That's your updates/upgrades AND your support sorted.
The way it is now at vB, forum-only customers are shafted after 30 days as far as support goes. I don't think that's right. I think support should be as much part of the deal as software updates. The support is one of the big reasons to pay for professional scripts. Of course, it's not the ONLY reason. And some people hardly use support at all. But it's peace of mind, knowing that it's there if you ever need it.
If you buy the Suite, you get support for as long as the version you bought is supported. If you buy forums-only, you only get 30 days support. After that, good luck.I didn't realize they were limiting support...
I never go to vB.com, as if I have an issue I can either solve it myself, or get someone I know to do it for me.

Edit:
I don't wanna make this an anti-vB thread or anything. So let's get back to xF and prices/licensing ideas/opinions.
I'm sure Mike and Kier will adopt the old vBulletin license structure though; I never really saw people complain much with it.
that NOT our problemYeah, I liked that license structure, but it's probably not that good for consistent cash flow
that NOT our problem
xF must be better, faster, innovative and easier as vb, ipb, wbb etc. than more and more users will change. Im interested in a good userfriedly, fast board with options to build in better functionality. The interest of shareholders etc. I couldn't care less.
And hopefully Kier, Mike and Ashley will never make the same mistake as James (?), selling their business off to a corporation. I am pretty sure in fact, that that won't happen.
I hope they learned a lot of these disaster! In my opinion vB3.X is the best forum software ... until nowAnd hopefully Kier, Mike and Ashley will never make the same mistake as James (?), selling their business off to a corporation. I am pretty sure in fact, that that won't happen.

He may have done right by himself - I'm not going to dispute that. But he could have made a better choice in as far as vBulletin's future was concerned. I mean, vBulletin isn't the first thing they (IB) bought and ran into the ground.James made money. Majority of you would of done the same thing.
We got thsi now, let us be happy we got something, than nothing out of the vB merger.
