Yer, my interaction ratio has surpassed vb3 days.... Xf now around 60/40 (new / return). It continues to improve. If it ever gets 50/50, other providers may as well packup shop... As those are stats I've never seen with forum software in 15+ years around online marketing.

Anyone that has used XF will tell you (us, whoever...) that it is the most engaging piece of (at least) forum software ever. I would go so far as to say that there may even be a mild addiction attached to its usage - and that's not a joke...

I, the mighty admin, love my site more than ever . The biggest attraction I'm noticing is the 'notifications' aka 'alerts'. People are coming back to see who's liked their posts!

I never experienced such enthusiasm among our members throughout our vB 3 & 4 days. XF is *the* future.

Unfortunately, that data is gone it's mostly because when I migrated to XF, I also migrated to another domain name.

By the way, I decided to follow DigitalPoints' advise and didn't submit a sitemap to Google. Google is still indexing our content within a minute or two at max (and remember we're still in the re-indexing mode); which is absolutely fantastic.

Can you reference his post where he said that?

It was through conversation.

Did he give a reason why not to use sitemaps after you've converted?

Well, Google is just good at finding content on its own; without needing the sitemap. Once we had the redirects in place, Google's spiders were informed the location of new URLs and as Google continued to discover the URLs it kept on updating the index. I'm happy to see that Google is fast indexing our site and removing the old URLs at the rate of about 3k/day. It will take about a month or two for the full reindexing. What's better is; the new URLs are getting added rapidly as well.

Not the best thread name... It indicates VB is better than XF.

Now who's the clever one?

I was thinking the same thing when I first read it.

Hope that I can say this in one year too. Run the last two years on vB4 and moved last Weekend.

VB > XF = VB to XF. If you are busy thinking mathematics, then you could interpret it another way I guess.

Staff can feel free to change it if they want...

Should have done -> instead of just >

Just my opinion though...as I thought you were using the greater than symbol.
