The 2 are mutually exclusive?

Guys, don't be so obtuse. I don't think anyone here is asking for a FB clone. The point is that there are visitor expectations set by the platform which has 1.5 billion registered users. Take what is relevant and iterate/adapt to forum usage. There are some great iterations in 2.0, but they are...

So lets lower our expectations (and those of our visitors) by ignoring the UX of the platform that generates 250 million posts per hour because we all don't have the servers to cope with the load. We should be asking how to capture some of that activity. We should be asking how Reddit's...

I dislike dismissing every suggestion that brings iterative experience for the end user. I also dislike having to be restricted to software with limitations for those guys on $5 per year shared hosting. Reading some responses remind me of old BBS users saying "good enough, we don't all have...

From a user perspective... it feels like a clunky skin on 1.x. Some of the Ux I dig and are clearly improvements.... others... feel clunky and raw (almost... alpha like!) I am only seeing/interacting on a superfluous level, but it is the same level my users interact on. For them, the experience...

Maybe I've missed something, but isn't that quote from over a year ago? The other quote is a reference to him in an interview on another site. Not trying to be argumentative, just pointing out that everyone is making assumptions about his efforts. The only thing we know is disengaged from the...

Isn't that an assumption? Everyone assumes Kier is working hard on Xenforo, but you know what they say about assumptions ;) ? Kier has obviously disengaged from the community, which could be to stay focused (a good reason) or because he has lost interest/moved on/whatever. He could be burned...

Saddened to see nothing has appeared to address this need. Personally would just like the ability for users to create and manage their own forums (to a degree). Would also want the ability to subscribe/unsub from said forums so when users view new posts, they get the content they are interested...

lol. Exactly why threading is so important. Like GARS :) That is a trip. Both that you still depend on it and that there isn't a solution for xF. I stopped working on GARS like 7 years ago?

Ive been playing with this since I first stumbled on it a week or so ago. I really like a lot about it. But it doesn't seem to aggregate content from your "favourite" tags. It isn't threaded and most have the "you no need no app if its repsonsive" mentality. Otherwise, a really good, content...

Hey Mert! Nice to see you again :) Yes, this is my point. Forum lists are static and how the ADMIN prioritises content categorisation. It isn't indicative of the users interest. When I moved to xF, I made this a project, but simply ran out of time implementing it. It really needs to be built...

My phrasing was fairly poor there. What I mean by this: if that if forums are a way of grouping content, make that grouping functional for the user. I don't want to have to go to forums->scroll to find my interest and click (nothing there, let me go to forums -> scroll to my next interest...

With a mindset like this, we would all still be on BBSs.

Forum structure is just not enough to engage anymore. Even for me. I HATE googling for a solution and getting a forum. Often, its a multipage discussion, with no threading... just a wall of posts in linear order. People quoting to try and form context, but to the average person trying to follow...

Its convenient and "gets the job done" for the vast majority of people out there. Content is transient, but most people value the convenience and "one stop shop" way to consume content more than skipping around "mobile friendly" web pages with next to no filtration/quality methods. Sadly...
