This was just with 2 ex-vBulletin developers. Imagine if Kier, Mike, Freddie, Scott, and Jerry were all working on this.

Foro is a spanish word, which in english means Forum.

 

[DieselMinded]

i take it "Kier's Super Duper Awesome Forum Software" was taken

 

[Enigma]

I'd say xen = zen and foro = forum

 

[Floris]

So in other words: Epic Fu

I like the Xen part, but Foro seems a bit awkward in the English speaking world.

A rose by any other name is but a rose. Anyway, xenforo is quite easy to market (since it's unique and sounds...exotic).

My take on its meaning:

Xen = Different
Foro = Forum

XenForo = Different Forum [meaning not like other ones]

 

[AdrianH]

"xen" is a virtual machine monitor . Foro is Spanish for forum.

 

[Mike]

Xen also sounds cool.

 

[Cezz]

Xen also sounds cool.

Lol I agree on this...

By take on it is

Xen = Zen (minimalistic calming etc)
Foro = Forum (just a cool short and different way of doing it **except for the spanish**)
