[ManagerJosh]

Has anyone seen any features missing from vBulletin and would like to see inside xenForo?

you ruined it, everyone was confused and it was funny. Now you go throw that stupid line it and it is no longer funny

I think we should make some features that have nothing to do with vBulletin, every forum soft should be unique!

being unique for the sole purpose of being unique is one of the most annoying things people try and do :|

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake

So then every forum should be the same? People should start wearing the same color shirt? And drive the same car?

not what I said

You said being unique is "annoying" so that tells me you want everything to be the same and not have something that maybe xF only has.

No, I said being unique for the purpose of being unique is annoying. That's different from saying being unique is annoying.

 

[Dark_Hunter]

Nothing wrong with unique.

 

[Brandon_R]

I prefer we have our own set of features as the thing we don't want to do is start thinking like vBulletin

no, there's nothing wrong with being unique, but being unique just to be unique is annoying

"You're wearing a red shirt, so I won't wear a red shirt even though I like my red shirt just because I want to be different...."

or, more specific to the topic

"vBulletin does X this way, xf shouldn't do X that way even though it's the best way just because vBulletin does it that way"

The point was made that implementing an idea for the sake of being "unique" is pointless. If an idea is genuinely useful, go for it. If it is used by 1% of all people, it's probably better as a modification, even though it's "unique".

Ultimately, one should not implement something just because its "cool".

The way the new vBulletin dev team is going, I 100% agree.

Did you just say the vBulletin dev team lol? Starting thinking xenForo. Almost on all websites i see posting about xF i see note of this. Instead of calling them ex vB devs lets called them xenForo developers.

Huh? I think he's talking about the way vBulletin is currently going, and thus, "as the thing we don't want to do is start thinking like vBulletin" [sic].
