Xenforo release and price?

[wii]

Wow, this looks good, when is it planned for release and what will the price be?

Thanks

 

[Peggy]

Ok, but I guess since XenForo is developed in the UK, they mean summer here in Europe

"around the end of summer" I believe was the answer from Kier. So I'm guessing it'll be a few weeks yet.

If you define it as "sunshine and blue skies", summer ended in the UK about three months ago

We should start a sweep stake. I reckon the first week in October, and £125 reduced to £99 for early adopters.

Gee ... I hope you are wrong, $192 USD, even your early adopter price would be $152 USD - which is more than IPB

ugh I hope that's wrong too.

I hope it will be less than $50 for the first 1000 customers or for the first month after the release

I believe it's going to be in the 150's to 200 range. xenForo is future compatible.

Enough to make a profit and reward you for your hard work, but cheap enough for us skint admins to afford a few licenses

 

[Elizabeth]

You know, all OUR guessing is counter productive. Their price will be what it will be. And we can either go with it or wait til our budget's can afford it or decide it's too rich for our blood. Plain and simple. So why don't we stop guessing and wait til Kier, Mike, and Ashley announce it? Liz

I'll be happy with it so long as it has the basic needs. I'm developing a game server control panel with a friend and I would love to give this forum a try on the company website. This will give me a chance to test it out and guage it for future implementation (replacing vBulletin) on my other web sites. Can't wait!

I think that $175 would be too much to ask for this software. Although we probably all like it very much, we still can`t compare it to the overwhelming community of the other solutions. XenForo has a long way to go i think before it is widely "accepted" and proven to be very stable. The start seems promising and it will probably rush past the other solutions in no time OR it will "die" slowly. Let`s all hope for the better and support the nice work. But still, as i said, in it`s early stages, $175 might be too expensive for many people to switch over or to buy a new licence.

$175 is not that much IMO, but maybe that's because I make the conversion to euro, while they probably ask the same amount in euro. It's quite a difference...

IPB would be subject to VAT for me at 17.5% (totalling $175 or £120 ish when you factor in a bad exchange rate on the credit card). But yes I see your point, so, I have changed my mind then...

I reckon the first week in October, and £89 (including VAT) reduced to £69 for early adopters

 

[Accreal]

Yes, better that a longer delay its release, what we will see the situation as a vb 4. Once every couple of days the patch made. So what can and be patient. Sensitive...

Even though a reduced start price would encourage many admins to try it out , thus enabling the xen community to grow faster, I always believe that the creator must ask what he feels his product deserves. No more, no less. If the product is good, a few bucks up or down won't make a difference in the Xen community growing fast. If the product lacks features, no matter how low the price, it will not grow.

 

[Floris]

Great to hear that you guys and girls are so excited about this product. I am still as excited as the first day about the product. Even if they don't have a license for sale in September or October, it's worth the wait.

 

[erich37]

I do not care about the price of ONE licence, though I am hoping for a discount when buying 10 licences in one shot.

- buy 10, get 2 free.

The End of the Summer is Calan Gaeaf - that's Welsh for the First Day of Winter.
Oct 31.

Wait, wait, wait.... So your saying that when Summer ends, Winter begins? There's no Autumn?

Sorry about the complete off-topicness of this but if my school teachers were lying to me about that, what else were they lying about?

 

[DoctorWatsOn]

Wait, wait, wait.... So your saying that when Summer ends, Winter begins? There's no Autumn?

Not in Wales, no. They have a month of summer and the other 11 months are winter.

 

[Peggy]

Not in Wales, no. They have a month of summer and the other 11 months are winter.

Is it really like that in Wales?

 

[Ben Davis]

Is it really like that in Wales?

I'm hoping so! It means that there is somewhere that is worse for weather than England xD However, I doubt that lol

There was a summer this year? Damn I must have overslept one day or something.
