$250 to remove brand removal?? Is this true?

[zenzenzen]

Before I buy XF, I saw that on top of the $140 licensing fee, it's an additional $250 to remove the copyright brand:

" Branding Removal - $250*
This allows you to remove the visible XenForo copyright notice from all pages."

It seems a bit high, since I'm already dropping $140 upfront

Do you guys remove the this brand/copy logo?
Are there other ways to remove the brand after spending $140? via CSS coding for example?

How about purchase branding removal for $25 a month, when 10 continous month is met, the branding remove will be permanent.

Or just save $25 a month for 12 months (it's now $300), then purchase branding removal.

 

[sub_ubi]

Increase the price to $500 which will keep this thread going for another four years

In reality forum owners who really need branding removal will find the cost insignificant. For the majority, displaying the brand or advertising if you prefer, helps keep the product affordable.

Almost everything you purchase has a visible brand name which is not easily removed unless you want to hammer and chisel away at your iPhone or Ferrari. Having the option to remove the Xenforo branding is a rare service. At least that's the way I see it.

Yes, quite.

It's obvious to me that XF price it high since they'd really rather it wasn't removed and compensates for the loss of their perceived marketing exposure. Other paid forum software has similar high prices.

Tbh I never understood why people even needed to remove the brand copyright, its at the footer and its nothing like an intrusive javascript code or video ad. I develop a software myself too and if a user asks to do this, I feel he/she doesnt like my software or isnt willing to support the development.

So heres my advice: If you think the price is expensive, then keep Xenforo credits at your site footer to support the developers and problem solved. If you dont want to support them or appreciate their had work, use another software.

It's not a matter of supporting or not or liking or not. Some companies may not want to see this type of copyright appear on their official pages. I think that individuals do not have this concern there but XF must propose the removal of copyright for certain institutional customers or large companies.

It does not worry me.
I like to see what forum software others are using.
If it helps Xenforo get more users, then thats good for us all

Large companies can afford the extra $250 spend.

Also... If a company doesn't want to see this type of "copyright" to appear, then they can develop their own proprietary format.

I mean... honestly... In the grand scheme of things, $250 is chump change.

There are cheaper solutions out there. Some are free.

A premium product carries a premium price tag.

Do institutional customers or large companies care about whether their laptops carry the Apple brand name? Then why should they care if their forum carries the Xenforo brand name?

**** no, I'm not paying $250 to remove link. It's a pid script for **** sake so they shouldn't force us to keep this link. This is the reason I never purchased XenForo.

What, you've pirated it?

 

[Mr Lucky]

It's a pid script

Come on, it’s not that pid, I’ve seen much pidder scripts.

 

[Ozzy47]

Bet I pid more than you piddered.

I'd love to see your set up of what you decided to go with besides XenForo.

You’d think if someone signed up to a forum to complain about it, then out of courtesy they would share with us the better solution.

Nah, come off it, that would be far too reasonable, tsk.

This is the most ridiculous thing ever. Who TF cares about a copyright link at the bottom of their site?

Literally no one! Your users don't care! They just want good content. Focus on that!

 

[VBX Co]

For goodness sake, don't tell him the secret ... remember the first rule of Forum Club!!

Users don'tcare, but the owner

Is there a new forum software company that this person is shilling for?
