Oh yeah baby!

The Announcements forum, Twitter or Facebook.

Or all 3 depending on how desperate you are

Thank you very much, Brogan!

Can someone tell me what exactly I need to watch in order to catch the 24 sale? Pretty please?

I will be coming on here every so many hours around that release date to get my licenses as well... eyes will be glued.

I got the alert about the pricing from Twitter.

I also get the updates on Facebook but I run a Twitter client 24x7 on my computer.

I hope it doesn't end up like most of my attempts to snipe something on eBay ... half the time I forget and miss the end of the auction.

 

[Chromaniac]

well this would not be an auction. we can only hope that the servers work fine during that time period and the payment gateway does not give up.

There will be a 24 hour period so I can't see there being too many problems in purchasing a license.

Perhaps as soon as it is announced there might be but just wait a few hours.

Might need to setup a snipe account to purchase XF... LOL

any chance to pre-register for the "Special Sale" to not have to be glued in front of the computer and waiting for the "date" ?
my eyes are already bad enough......

Yes, this may be the thing that finally motivates me to sign up for Twitter. Maybe. (Possibly, I'd rather pay the extra $40.)

^ Very good.

I hope Kier is reading this. I'll be glued to XenForo anyway. Just tired of reading vB veterans' "I am a member of vBulletin forum since 2001......." So when I heard of xF first, I registered right away. I hope I'll be one of the first buyers too. I will be able to say in 2020 "I am a member of XenForo forum and a license holder since 2010. So listen to my bla bla bla".

Oh yes, tarantara.

If they supplied the paypal address i am ready to purchase 2 licenses immediately and will have no problem for waiting beta as long as it takes. ( 2 licenses will just be the start )

same here.
just provide the PayPal-address and let us pre-order now.

 

[MilesDB]

There is no point in doing so as the whole purpose of ONE DAY pre-sale is to pump up anticipation and interest from inactive members and newcomers. It's a "jump the fence now" ad tool.

I'm down with this idea.

We would like customers to extend their licenses, obviously and recognise that they may wish to continue without accessing updates or support. In order that a balance is maintained, the license extension will extend the 'valid until' date by 12 months. Where a license has not been extended for 9 months or more, a reactivation fee (more than an extension and less than a new purchase) will be applied and the license will be extended by 12 months from that day.

I find this silly. All renewals should be one price, no matter how much time has lapsed since the initial purchase or last renewal. Id rather see a slightly higher renewal fee than a two-tiered renewal pricing model.

I think it's only fair to the people who paid the renewal fee every year, for several years, on time. If those who leap in five years later because they suddenly need an upgrade or tech support only have to pay the normal renewal fee, it makes suckers out of the rest of us. And is it ever a good idea to make suckers out of your regular paying customers suckers in order to appeal to the fly-by-night, randomly-renewing slackers?

Is it so surprising? We, the development team supported vBulletin for years before a dedicated support team was hired.

Im guessing XF was in development at least in some capacity back when yall were Jelsoft.
Hence why things appeared pretty quickly once you were no longer part of IB.
Or maybe you guys have a team of coders in some sweatshop in India doing all the heavy lifting
