The reason i still haven't moved to xenForo is that you guys do not have an IP.Content replacement...
Are there any plans for it?

Some folks want to compete against custom coded solutions (reddit, facebook, etc). They apparently want to make a swiss army knife out of a forum software.I don't get the whole CMS requirement that everyone talks about, is it really that vital?
None of my sites have ever had one in the last 5-6 years.
There is a world of difference between a portal and a CMS.I wouldn't call it a swiss army knife. I would call it a minimum expectation for a modern community website: a front page portal with CMS to highlight community content and a forum for the communities discussion. There are countless examples of this being executed and it is frustrating if the option is to rely on add-on's or bridges with wordpress. Frontpage portal/CMS will be a standard within two years for any adequate forum software - whoever gets their first and best will have a huge advantage, and I'm already letting people know how I wish my options were what IPB offered.
I presently use vBulletin 4, I have a current licence for vBulletin 5 and the only reason I haven't deployed vBulletin 5 is that it does not yet have a calendar or front page CMS - we use both. If xenforo had front page calendar and CMS I'd have bought it and moved over. However, if there'd been a good bridge between Xenforo and Joomla I would have looked at that as an alternative although I'd have wanted to convince myself before doing it that whatever I was moving to was 'mobile friendly.'I am pretty sure a CMS will come one day, but creating a good (!) CMS takes a lot of time and effort. We should not expect this being added to XF very soon. And a crappy CMS is nothing anybody wants to have...
I agree, and that lawsuit didn't achieve anything for anybody.It's still valid. Although keep in mind that this company had to deal with a ~3 years lawsuit.
May I ask you what you are using the calendar for? I tried the calendar on another forum software and it didn't really work out :/I presently use vBulletin 4, I have a current licence for vBulletin 5 and the only reason I haven't deployed vBulletin 5 is that it does not yet have a calendar or front page CMS - we use both.

You can use xenforos Information System to display alerts around the release.Me personally really would love to have a callendar, which will show the release dates of games / movies / books / (put here anything you want) in an easy way. Something like XenAtendo, but that is not really good for this purpose without modifying it.
We use it for CPD events (continuing professional development). It self-populates, the admins rarely have to touch this bit. It's mainly used by people who are trying to promote/sell their CPD events so they have an incentive to put them up. It doesn't matter to us, costs us nothing to have them make their contributions.May I ask you what you are using the calendar for?
