I agree, everything is shiny, new, exciting, and good users, posting good things.
A good community mood is 50% of the reason a site is working, active, and worth visiting.
Yeah, there is certainly the honeymoon effect seeing that the software is new and exciting, but honestly I think even when it is released the forums will be more active than vB's. You can just tell this is a lively, active, and passionate community, otherwise we wouldn't be here talking about a piece of forum software that isn't even released yet.

Agreed. I haven't posted on vB for a few days now. It's just depressing to read through the active threads there, to say the least. There is definitely a more upbeat vibe going on here, which just makes it that much more enjoyable to return.
I only really visit vBcom when someone links it, otherwise I don't even post any more. No point as I have no interest in the product now. I was seriously considering moving to IPB and was going to bite and this opened up just in time.

While I agree, one of the things that made vBulletin such a great choice was its rich feature set. Those of us coming from there would like to see a lot of those features brought into XF. That doesn't mean XF can't add its own, unique twist, to it
I commented on there the other day that more members were logged on here than there, I noticed they have now removed the number of members & guests online from their ‘what’s going on’ block.

IB on the other hand managed to completely kill all the passion many people had for vBulletin. A passion I can definitely see here again. That might be another reason why some users are way more active here than on vB.com recently.
