Vbulletin -> XenForo

[Ricsca]

I have a forum vbulletin years with nearly 40,000 users ... Unfortunately vbulletin is in a sorry state since it was sold ...
Why not provide free licenses to utent vbulletin forum with large who want to pass from you?

Thanks

This example is incorrect ... Almost nobody uses forums anymore so it is very difficult to find new people who spend around $ 400 on a site that has few visits (with rare exceptions).
I have been using Vbulletin for many years and have not spent anything for years at the moment. I'd like to switch to xenforo to renew the site but I can't afford the full amount (and most of those who use vbulletin like me).
If xenforo offered discounts to those who want to pass by them, it would receive many new customers who would pay for the renewal in the following years.
For example, for several years I would like to switch to xenforo but having no discounts, I remain on vbulletin. In these years xenforo would have earned hundreds of dollars on me if he had enticed me to stop by them. This post I entered in 2015, today simao 2020 and xenforo would have taken 5 years of renewals from me.
He obviously doesn't care about having new customers.

You dragged up a 5 year old topic so you can disagree and further complain about pricing?

Xenforo deserves to be compensated for their time and effort, and they have a fair price. With 40,000 users it comes out to $0.004 each. I'm sure you could sell one banner to pay this many times over. ($0.44 per day, or about the cost of one cup of coffee per week)

Or you could go for the newer vbulletin, which costs a lot more.

I have one of my forums that used to be on VB 4, and am looking to convert a second one over this fall.

Not much point in keeping this thread open.

We don't provide free licenses so won't be doing so in this case.
