Has a XenForo-based forum, ever, been acquired by another company? If so, which forum(s)?

And, which is the largest XF-based forum today?

IB owns vb so they stick to that platform mostly.
VS converted most their boards to XF a while ago.

One large forum I occasionally visited was running some monetized forum system that was based on vB, then I think they might have moved to IPB before they were bought out. Now they are part of Verticalscope and look exactly the same as every other VS forum. I can't say I'm a fan of VS's styling--they made their own theme, stripping away many helpful XF functions, then slowly reintroduce them as major new feature additions. Very odd way of running a forum.

Another forum I knew of was running vB, was bought out...then converted to XF. That seems to happen more commonly.
