Pros and cons about buying Xenforo

[Avramski]

Hi all.

I currently run a British Superbike forum, but with a limited amount of success. With that in mind, I'm considering buying Xenforo to replace the phpBB forum I currently use to attract new members.

Please could you have a look at my forum (link is in my profile) and list any potentional positive or negative changes there would be.

1 more quick question, what's the spam filters like? Over the last 2 or 3 weeks, I've seen a lot of spam bots registering, which is another reason I'm considering the move away from phpBB.

Yes it is. It's called "remove from public view" in the moderation options when you go to moderate a post/thread.

Thankyou!

Another question I've just thought about. IS it possible to soft delete posts/topics? In phpBB you have to install a mod for this....

Yes you can soft delete.

You can even soft delete from the posts themselves, see for yourself:



Welcome to xenForo.

I believe Xenforo has soft delete as default. You can give certain members groups permission to hard delete based on permissions.
