Thinking about switching to Xenforo

[rowedf]

Can someone help me along with the decision making process

I have a Vbulletin account and I've been seeing how they seem to be going down hill. There is hardly any developer support and that scares me. I have a clan/gaming website that is used a lot. When I say a lot I don't mean a huge mega site, but there are on average 35-40 people that frequent the site daily.

A few concerns I have with moving to xenforo is ...

1. How safe is the lasting power of the company? I've heard rumors regarding law suits, etc.
2. Are there 3rd party developers interested in putting out modifications?
3. Are there designers willing to create custom themes? Average Cost, etc ?

Any insight, feedback, opinion will be greatly appreciated. I'd like to make a move very soon, I've narrowed it down to Xenforo or IPS ... just trying to see which is the best option at this time.

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll have to wait until they get it working with Joomla 1.7.

Why not use Wordpress ?
I used to use Joomla.
But I switched to Wordpress.
Wordpress is easier to use than Joomla but not as powerful.

Because I have a custom component that is very robust designed in Joomla.

In that case, Joomla is the best bet. Just double checking
