I adore xenforo, i want to see it developed further and have some kind of normality, consistency back. Simple as that.
Couldn't agree with you more... Well said...

Volume of XF licenses. Simple as that. After a release you get all the current users that need it buying it and then that's it. Maybe 1 sale per add-on a week. Resource manager how it is doesn't help. But it comes down the how many people use XenForo. And that number is very low. It is obviously growing but the rate is low because if IB being douches. It will pick up again and by that time my add-ons will be mature (in theory) and I will get money for not much work (also in theory). It's an investment for me that has left me broke for months. I do believe I will get at least some of this investment back.I would certainly agree that you have a better picture of the market than I do. But, where I am uncertain is what the cause is- whether some products are not up to snuff (as you suggested), whether it is a pricing issue (either to high or to low), or it is just the volume of available licenses out there for XF (which could be an issue- and one that can creates a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy...if coders don't build add-ons that are quality and wanted, then maybe there are less XF purchasers. The problem then, is that it takes time to build a large enough critical mass of XF purchasers to make the add-on market a good business for coders; I don't think there would be an easy solution for this, if it is the issue. I think it would, in large part, just take time. However, I could see that the lack of communication from the developers working to hamper that growth in licenses. More interesting to me, though, would be how the add-on market has changed over the past year. Were things running along nicely at some point in the past and then dropped off? That might indicate a causal connection. However, if things have been slow from the start, well, that speaks to a likely need for that critical mass of license holders for coders to make a decent living).
Why not close this forum until further notice? When KAM have time to visit and participate again, reopen it.
It would allow those looking for answers each passing day to spend their time with something more useful. And it would allow others to stop fretting about all the negativity.

To the OP. Meh you like drama, keep enjoying it. And the released demo was up there with the top 3 worst programmed things I have ever seen. It deserves all bashing. All this thread is accomplishing is feeding your need for drama. But keep trying to act innocent. Not reading this crap I have read over and over again for no reason anymore.
I agree that some news would be nice, but very disappointed by how you titled the thread, Shelley, and totally devoid of basis.
XF falling apart could mean different things to different people but i believe Shelly was referring to the community and not just the company.. after all community is very much a part of the company, unofficially.I agree that some news would be nice, but very disappointed by how you titled the thread, Shelley, and totally devoid of basis.
Lol. Mike was fiddling with the demo servers just last week, and not Jake's or Slavik's but Ashley's post is the last post on this subject.highly possible without KAM's knowledge
Yes and when he was pressed by those members to be more specific, he was shown to first have no facts whatsoever, and secondly show himself as a spreader of rumors directly aimed at damaging XF and undermining confidence wherever possible.'Brogan' said something on another forum to the effect of
I guessed it right then..Not a thread title I would have ever thought I'd write. That said stick "community" After "XF" before "Apart" would be more accurate.
I just found this thread after i tweeted following and i stand here with my tweet :
It is a shame#Xenforo keeps#vBulletin 5 bashing thread open while locking all Questions about missing developers and promised questions.
When Kier , Mike and Ashley was in charge or even Brogan , no one could post anything bad about vBulletin because it could effect Law Case. However now the amount of vBulletin bashing on Xenforo is incredible.
Yet nothing has been answered from KAM. Jake and Slavik created a thread , highly possible without KAM's knowledge and it is clear that nothing will be answered at all.
What pisses me off is currently there is no single alternative for Big boards. I thought IPB would be but that thought immediately stopped as soon as i started a test conversion to IPB.
I have all the facts, I have just chosen not to publish them.Yes and when he was pressed by those members to be more specific, he was shown to first have no facts whatsoever
I have already made it clear that I am not the source of the rumours and have asked everyone attributing them to me to stop doing so.and secondly show himself as a spreader of rumors directly aimed at damaging XF and undermining confidence wherever possible

See Shelley, you're unwittingly drawing trolls to the thread, with such titles that promise our hired 'friends' money from supporting their competing forums .
