A Cheap Price?

[Tyler Allen]

Now this forum software look beast and would be worth a nice price, however I was thinking if that would be the best way to go? I dont think so.

The reason a lot of people do not get vb and ip.board is because of the high price, I was thinking that if this software wanted to be number one and show off vB and Ip.Board that the price should be quite lower, maybe 50-100 usd.

I am sure that a lot of people will move from vB once this is released and with a much cheaper price, bring more users from vBulletin to xenForo.

Just and idea, but like i this, this is something solid for sure.

I bought the publishing for vBulletin 4, I was like...whyyyyyy did I bloody do this, whyyyyy.

Same. I hate it. As said above, I doubt they'll go towards vB4's licensing model.

I bought the vB4 license early like many people before it was properly released..... I have still not upgraded and feel very cheated because upgrading for me is not an option as features will get lost.

Celebrating already with a fine glass?

Only one solution: http://vbfans.com/marketplace when you got confirmation from their team it's eligible for the one time transfer to a new party.

I dont care much, im staring a teen support/personals forums and its going nice, but It seems im not even using the cms, I dont see the point in it.

I hope you know the legal issues with that

Yes, I am aware. I worked with teenhut so its like the same set-up and rules system, but I do have professionals looking in to help as well.
But we are cool, I have a strick tos and rule set, so I am good. ^_^

That's good. I think XF will be the perfect solution for your community - easy of use is sometimes paramount, although there are a few things which I feel, if implemented, would benefit you greatly.

 

[Tyler Allen]

Yeah, Just I'll have to learn a NEW theme system.
After I learned MyBB, I got phpBB, then vBulletin 3, then Ip.Board 2, after that I gave up xD

$195.00 = vB Forum Only, is a one time fee for the life of the product
$149.99 = IP.Board (Standard), plus renewal fees every 6 months

Currently there's no real player @ $100.00 price range with $25.00 renewal fees every 6 months might be a good place to start since 1.0 will probably not be as feature packed as the two other options.

Don't go too low? They will likely need the revenue for development and to put on staff and such.

You just want it $100

Remember, I don't mind if it is $249, and I think $249 IS a competitive price.

Haha I like 100.00 better, we can just forget about them evil prices you have listed, forget, forget

 

[DarkGizmo]

I hope the theming system for these are easy

 

[Shamil]

Floris, as long as v2 doesn't come out in 12 months, I'll be fine with that price

You're still thinking in vBulletin, you need to start thinking in Portals

 

[Carnage]

My money is on it starting off at the tried and tested $160 that vBulletin was sold at for so many years. Raising in price only when CMS, Gallery and Blogs are added.

There will probably be a discount for the first week or two of sales

Ah you got me in mid edit.

At $100.00 its priced to move, especially if they use that as a presale number and then up it to $150.00 with $25.00 renewal fees as the regular price.
At $249.00 I wish them luck. I don't doubt that you or a handful of others will dish out $249 for Xenforo. However the real question is what the masses are willing to pay and can't be answered with sentiment, but only with some serious number crunching. Keep in mind that competitive pricing should also mean competitive features and currently that is not the case.

 

[p4guru]

would really need to crunch the numbers there to ensure your financially setup for future development and expansion though so not too cheap and not priced out of average joes reach heh

Whoosh. Purging all vBulletin data, introducing Portals. Much better

We all make mistakes. Consider that instead of getting a license, you went out with your girlfriend had an amazing time. You will feel much better.
