IPB is already not an option anymore since a decade ago due to its pricing policy.I'd just like to add for anyone who thinks that XF is expensive, should see the price of Invision Community.
While this software does compete with XF on quality and features (I tried the demo and have an old license bought off a friend who ran his forum on it years ago, so I have first hand experience of it) it's an eye watering $600 to buy it. The renewals are then £$100 every six months! So, just renewing this software costs a lot more than the initial XF purchase price of $160! XF renewals are only $55 / year too, or effectively £27.50 every six months for a direct comparison. XF is a friggin' bargain.
Kinda puts the price of XF into perspective, doesn't it?
This is why, while I still have that IC license, I chose to go XF rather than renew it.
If XF follows what IPB does then I am pretty sure people will vote with their footsteps.
Why can't you admit the huge financial differences among countries?
