Why is Kier's name replaced with [He Who Shall Not Be Named] throughout that whole article?
Must have been the half-blood prince.

I can think of a few characters who would think that was a funny and or clever thing to do. Ha. Ha.Article Vandalism, probably.
The only doubt I have with XenForo -is- the developer and designer community.
I don't know if they'll do much as they did with vBulletin, and release free version, or they'll go for the pay for everything approach. The first will be a large asset to the community, the second could seriously impede any progress.
There's some freaks about. Why take the time to do that?Article Vandalism, probably.
Edit: It was done by this person: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/69.255.242.121
I reverted the changes.
Edit 2: Interesting, they also made many edits to the XenForo Wikipedia page. I'm willing to bet they've visited these forums. Kier, you should look up their IP and give them a good banning.
They probably thought it was funny and didn't realize that editing Wikipedia is serious business. Ctrl+F doesn't take much time.There's some freaks about. Why take the time to do that?
Hi
I have to say that I really like XenForo. But, part of me thinks that vBulletin will respond by releasing a really good upgraded version, which will have a CMS and all other bridges and perhaps coupled with a sale will blow XenForo out of the water. Ultimately, I would put it to you that people do not want to take risks, and stick to brand names that they know.
I appreciate that Kier is a bit of a brand name himself and that there are a lot of keen people on this forum. But surely, we are just a very small number of potential customers who will not alone be enough to make the product swim?

You're not alone. Them posting that announcement may and will drive away potential customers for the "forum only" package. Its frustrating to me because I was going to purchase the forum classic version for a site like www.mw2forums.com - them leaving support out for classic users will only end up more problematic than it solves it.A recent announcement on vb.com, regarding the enforcement of the support policy for vb4 forum-only customers, has frustrated me because that is the only vb4 license type I own (but still using 3.8x). I have only eleven tickets in my customer-area profile, since early 2006, that were all handled very well. However, I can't get past the fact that IB actually expended energy to develop and post this announcement when they could have utilized the resources to improve vb4.
How could an organization with a lack of focus affect anything else?
Are you aware of a vibrant and active scene of people developing plugins and styles for vBulletin 4?
I've had a total of, if I remember correctly, 3 support tickets in over 5 years to VB support. So I did not feel it necessary to pay a yearly support fee. Most of my issues were handled in the community forums by either searching the threads, searching the bug threads or asking questions.A recent announcement on vb.com, regarding the enforcement of the support policy for vb4 forum-only customers, has frustrated me because that is the only vb4 license type I own (but still using 3.8x).

I'm quite willing to pay for the two mods that I want.
As am I, however having to pay for almost everything is a turn off to new customers of the system.
I know that was one of the reasons many people chose vB3 over IPB.

This is what should happen to gain *some* trust back:According to one of the IB head-honchos over there, the incremental rewrite of vBulletin is going to continue into the vB 5 series. That's rather pathetic if you think about it. IB keeps making promises they can't keep.
