xenForo meaning

i wonder why its called xenForo
is there a story behind?

humm

vbulletin Four

hehehe you know this is what vb4 could of been

I dunno!

EDIT: Oh wait, that's Fora. Nevermind.

My first thought on "Xen" was zen?

This was just with 2 ex-vBulletin developers. Imagine if Kier, Mike, Freddie, Scott, and Jerry were all working on this.

Foro is a spanish word, which in english means Forum.

i take it "Kier's Super Duper Awesome Forum Software" was taken

I'd say xen = zen and foro = forum

So in other words: Epic Fu

It looks like InternetBrands bought the body of VB but couldn't buy out its soul

god bless xf

+10000 on that.

I like the Xen part, but Foro seems a bit awkward in the English speaking world.

A rose by any other name is but a rose. Anyway, xenforo is quite easy to market (since it's unique and sounds...exotic).

My take on its meaning:

Xen = Different
Foro = Forum

XenForo = Different Forum [meaning not like other ones]

"xen" is a virtual machine monitor . Foro is Spanish for forum.

Lol I agree on this...

By take on it is

Xen = Zen (minimalistic calming etc)
Foro = Forum (just a cool short and different way of doing it **except for the spanish**)

ya, really cool ...
