But you've got to start somewhere, right?

Gives a Vbulletin / Xenforo ratio of 369 !

<sigh> I thought we'd be "over" the vB/xF thing now?

Only 79899 installs to go...

Not to mention that vBulletin has a ten year head start

 

[Walter]

Ten years ago we had the same ratio with UBB vs vb.
Give Xenforo some time...

I did that Google Fight thing...I love how despite vBulletin having millions when xenForo has only thousands...it still shows xenForo as winning. It knows something....

Very clever, Chris.

Apparently a certain dead horse needs some more attention in these here parts.

Well... I estimate that is using pages, not installs... being its looking for the specific instance on a per indexed page basis! If that is the case... once a few big boards change over to XF, instant equality without the decade of being open.

Limitations:

• Not scientifically or reasonably accurate.
• Results accurate to +/- 100%
• YMMV.
• The word Powered is used loosely.

Yeah, the XF guys are gonna be happy to pass 10K sales (IMHO)....

Since they don't get paid by the page, the millions of forum post pages don't mean much....

It's slow, but keep your eye on this.....

Really rough metric, but if I had to guess twice as many copies as show there have been sold because many are not live yet.

I say first goal is 10k, then 25K. After that it may all be gravy, add-ons and renewals!
(thinking small here, because small is good)

XenForo will win this in the long term
