The mass exodus was of a vocal minority who change their allegiance at the drop of a pin.
It just seemed much bigger than the reality as they tried to kick up as much dirt as possible on the way out.
Who is sticking around?

For what it's worth, I'm working on a number of large custom projects, one of which is nearly finished and currently in final testing stages. I'm working on another custom project after that with several more bubbling away in the background. I'm also available for other custom work and smaller requests.
I'm not in the top Resources section but I'll perhaps be there one day and I have no plans to abandon XF until such a time that it becomes necessary to (which I'm certain won't happen).

On the topic of the XF market continuing to grow. I have been absent from the XF forum for nearly 1 year and the registered users on this forum went from 18k one year ago to 22k today. Considering that not all of those 4k new users are actually buying XF I think it is still correct that XF is growing but the rate of growth is very low considering that XF was hailed as the best thing since sliced bread.
I feel that at the end of the day it doesn't really matter which forum has the best workings under the hood, what matters to forum operators and users alike is what is available to them in comparison to competing products. The 3rd party developer scene hasn't taken to XF (present company excluded of course but you know what I mean). It's a circular problem, many devs don't want to get into XF because there just aren't enough installations of it. New installations aren't happening at the desired rate because either essential functionality is missing from core or it's not available from 3rd parties.
I am launching a new project tomorrow and it will be on IPB because even though I had to drop $300 on the initial purchase to IP and then another 100 or so on mods and I have to pay $140 per year in support the functionality I want actually exists. IP.Nexus and IP.Gallery are brilliant products (though Gallery could use a bit more of vB's approach to personal albums) and they exist today, right now.

I'm still here (and without any donations or any need for the XenForo developers to hold my hand)

I requested an application for vB5 Beta but I might not complete it because I'm mentally exhausted plus I'm about to start school again. So with that said I'm sticking around *because most of the stuff I do or resources I create isn't even hard at all because I'm pretty much done working on my site anyway. I did an inventory of my addons last night and at least 90% of the 88 addons I have installed are free. I don't really need the ones I paid for and most of the ones I did pay for in the past, I don't even use. For instance, I don't use any of Robbo's paid addons and I bought all of his including custom work. I bought several of borbole's but I only use one... but damn dude, you really blew $500? You either got guap or your not spending your money wisely.

I'm still here.. not a coder or a designer, although I dabble. Same as Shelley, I'll stick around until it's dead and rotting because I enjoy using the software. Doesn't mean we can't worry about stuff though, even if I'm not vocal about my thoughts on the matter.
Jake - thought we weren't supposed to discuss vb stuff here? I know a few times other people have posted vb press releases/information, they've been removed as not being appropriate - has that changed now?
