I'm sure a lot of them do the same thing as existing add-ons. There are a few reasons I built all my own from scratch though. Partially because I needed to *really* learn the guts of XenForo since I'm also building a ton of my own custom stuff on top of it, so it was a good way to do that. Also, I have trust issues and that's the same reason I built all our stuff for vBulletin rather than use other's add-ons. I've found that sometimes add-ons aren't really designed to scale well and just aren't designed for large/high traffic or maybe they have security issues that pop up later. In the time I takes me to dig through other people's code to make sure it's all good, I probably could have written it myself... and as an added bonus have ti do *exactly* what I want.

 

Yeah... it's like 31-35 minutes currently, but that's also doing it against a live site/DB servers. I suspect it will be a little faster when you do it for real and actually lock users out.

 

Really doubtful on that one... XenPorta is really good and does a *lot* more than what mine does.
