I don't like how the developers of Xenforo stayed silent during the trial. I, like many other folks took a chance on them when they launched, and used this platform for communities that we have invested a lot of money in. The least they could do was give us a heads up for supporting Xenforo out of the gate. I see no legal conflict with that. Instead, they stayed silent and left us in the dark.
Granted KAM is talented, but at the end of the day you have to take into account how the developers conduct business, and not just how the software performs. This is especially important if you are a business owner. For hobby sites, I understand as it is not mission critical.
What happens the next time KAM encounters adversity? Will they tuck tail and go dark on us again? An official statement from them in regards to this would be nice. Otherwise, I'm not sure I can invest in XF from a commercial perspective, no matter how glittery or shiny everything looks.
