We'll see... right now just focused on getting what I need built.

Wow that is a lot of addons. Are these all available to use in Xenforo? From the names, some of these look great.
Have you ever looked around digitalpoint.com, and seen what an absurd amount of stuff we have built over the years? A tool to track historical search engine position changes (which over 100,000 registered users use), a tool to track your stolen computer, MASSIVE marketplace (10,000+ domains/sites *currently* for sale), an entire ad space bidding platform, etc, etc...
I'm not exaggerating when I say we have more than a million lines of code to rewrite for XenForo in order to keep existing custom stuff working.
That being said, it will be ready when it's ready... not before.
Sadly, they don't code themselves... but definitely working on it.

Virtual forums, what's that?

Sorry but I can't say, until it's officially decided.
Also, I'm looking for some experienced add-on developers to help with the moving process, please PM if you are interested.

I think its just awesome that big boards recognise that XF is a much more viable solution for their own future success. XF has taken forum to the next level, making it more social whilst maintaining forum... I expect to see lots of big boards moving over in the next year, especially as 1.1 is a real stepup from initial 1.x specs... quite significant actually.

oooh, that sounds like it could be useful for me too - any chance of releasing it at some point?

Some stuff I'll release when I'm done with it all (not sure which stuff at this point), but right now my focus is just on getting everything rewritten. Probably not going to release more than I already have until I'm actually done rewriting (wrapping up stuff into packages and trying to support others only takes away from the time I have to work on what *I* need to do).
That being said, I finished rewriting everything in http://tools.digitalpoint.com/ including the "biggie"... http://tools.digitalpoint.com/tracker
Existing version on left, XF version on right:
I have master/slave DB support working (without needing to modify any of XF's code), and my installed addon list is getting bigger.

Wow, that newer version of keyword tracking looks much better now...
Can't wait to use DP once using XF.

Yep... got a couple of new features along the way as well... You can specify "as seen from country" on a per keyword basis if you want (applies only to Google since Bing doesn't support it).
There's also a bulk mode for adding URLs (when in link tracking mode), easier to use support for multiple API keys, etc...

Probably at some point, but it's not really high up on the priority list (not having it doesn't prevent me from migrating to XF).

Bloody hell Shawn, do you ever sleep?I have master/slave DB support working (without needing to modify any of XF's code), and my installed addon list is getting bigger.
That's a helluva lot of work there!

The existing functionality we already have on our site certainly isn't going to rewrite itself...

Don't I know it - I've got a similar (although far less work) situation moving my forum over to XF.The existing functionality we already have on our site certainly isn't going to rewrite itself...
