Using CloudFlare for DDoS protection, is like hosting with Godaddy.

You are really underestimating Cloudflare...

Anyway let them decide how to protect against those damn DDoSes...

You suggested cloudflare, he suggested something else and you essentially say it's none of his business. That is logical. lol

Yeah, because I'm only one of the largest webhost's specializing in xenForo communities for several years now, including several with over millions of posts that require DDoS mitigation almost on a daily basis, yet I have no clue what I'm talking about.

You need to be more humble, too. You have no idea of who I'm nor what communities I manage.

I have been using Cloudflare (the free edition!) for years on my forums and it really protects against DDoSes and yep my site gets DDoSed very frequently.

Big difference between a 5 grand a month Enterprise solution and the $200 solution you were suggesting xenForo use.. https://www.cloudflare.com/enterprise

I know nobody is dumb enough to attack a site they make their money off of..

Exactly.
On the other hand, his strategic moves are very short-sighted...

I think this thread has outlived whatever usefulness it may have had.
