I'm in the same boat here in Denmark. And that is after they already take half my paycheck in income tax. That's why crime is illegal in Denmark. The government doesn't like the competition.

An extra $140 for XF so that vBulletin can create an importer? Sure, why not!
Unless they use a nulled version
Unless they ask someone for the database structure - they don't really need the files to be executed. (although I don't know if that's against the rules).
They'd still need the code to know where the database contents are called to, their uses, etc.
That's like me giving you a phpBB database and telling you to create an XF importer without any knowledge of where the database contents are being used.

The discount was interesting enough, especially knowing it will go back to $140 after march 15, and because there will be VAT on top of it in April .. Who knows! Despite bulk pricing the price might go up in a year or so when I need another license.
$115 investment now, and also to support them financially due to the lawsuit-costs, sounds like a deal to me.

Yeah it really is tempting to buy two additional licenses and even an extra year of upgrades for them to avoid VAT. But it feels a bit like a dive in the unknown for me too. Not thinking of the lawsuit specifically although when investing a fair amount of money everything comes into play and feels like a risk. Need to think about this...
If you're registered for VAT, you have to charge VAT at the standard rate on all goods and services you supply, unless they fall into one of these categories:
- zero-rated
- reduced-rated
- exempt from VAT
- outside the scope of VAT

Sales tax is generally only imposed by individual States rather than the Federal Gov't. So, depending on where you live, there may not be any tax.

Perhaps I should have been a bit clearer.
I'm curious why they have registered, i.e. was it voluntary, or because they are passing the £70,000 limit.

I don't care about the lawsuits.
I felt that vBulletin 3 would be fine for a few more years, without even considering version 4. And I was right. A lot of sites that I still like run on vB3, and do just fine. However, compared to XenForo it feels outdated.
XenForo had this stable feeling since the alpha, and the stable is out now. Even if it discontinues as a product it will be a more modern solution for me and my communities that I power with it, for a handful of years.
I strongly believe the framework allows for great add-ons to be developed quickly, and using sites where styles are made and xenfans and what not .. they will be easy to share as well. There's a strong enough community behind it to make something that's worth upgrading from vBulletin or IPB from, for me at least, for the next 24 months. And I believe that in 2011 there won't be an outcome in the negative towards XenForo Limited that affects customers or development, so that's about 6+ good months of maintenance and point releases, and in 2012 those 24 months start ..
A few years for me to run a fun community, sounds like a good hobby to me.
Things always change, we will see if that 'worst case scenario' even applies to customers, in what shape or form, and how that affects me running a hobby site.

Yes, and we'll soon have VAT as well. It's being tossed about and as badly as our government "needs" money it'll get pushed through eventually.
