I personally would rather leave my licenses inactive, and not pay them a penny more. Furthermore, this way they continue to incur costs associated with maintaining my license
When you guys speak of companies "running down" the product, what exactly do you mean? I mean vBulletin was a quality product right before it was bought out by Internet Brands. Therefore, I found your comment "stupid." Because if you're saying that before the purchase by iB, vBulletin was suffering from quality, which I disagree with, and is something most people here would disagree with. And you're also basically saying xenForo, Ltd. is running down its product.vBulletin, before being purchase by Internet Brands and being run into the ground (although you may see it differently; everyone has their own opinion), was used by many websites and many large companies used their software, as well as many 'big-boards' forums.
VB have a near full demo you can access to see the ACP... Well... they did when I was a customer!I would actually like to get a license from someone,just so I can see how bad it is compared to XF,as I have never used the admin Side of it.
Even given the current state of the company, it's a fools move to simply throw away what could be an asset in future, even in protest, as IB wont give a **** about a group of less than 20 or so people (at the most) saying "boo hoo cancel my license", you think that's gonna put a dent in their company? Think again, they already got your money, and stop throwing temper tantrums and trying to take a morally high ground where there is none. You're on xenforo.com, not vBulletinSuckz.com
You actually didn't call my post stupid.When you guys speak of companies "running down" the product, what exactly do you mean?

I don't doubt this for a second. Kier, Mike, and Ashley are committed to delivering the best product available. They're all passionate about what they're doing, and as they say, passion is the driving force behind quality.I would hazard a guess (and it's a completely wild one) that xF already has a few thousand ex-vB owners on its books, and that that number will grow during the next 12 months. 2011 should see a fantastic growth in the xF platform and feature-set. People will want to get on board once xF can directly compete with vB on a like-for-like feature/settings basis, and as things stand there's absolutely nothing to stop them getting there, the evidence is in the beta - beta for gawds sake - of where xF is heading!!!
I received an email from our friends at vBulletin asking me to complete a survey on my recent "support experience." I guess they send those out randomly, eh?
