Xenforo VS Vbulletin 6

[Zweeper]

Hi, I am sure this question has been answered for old versions, but, what are the big "advantages" of Xenforo compared to vBulletin "6"?
Opinions, facts? especially regarding speed and SEO and I am talking about out of the box versions.

Hi, there, my first post on the forum! I currently have a forum running on vBulletin 6.2.2. It has existed since 2004 and now has more than 9000 members, 18 000 topics and 700 000 posts. I am on the verge of moving to Xenforo, but I see that there is no converter from vBulletin 6. Will that cause me issues?

Hi there,

We can help you on this and develop a custom import for your site.

We've had a custom importer since shortly after the first 6.x release of vBulletin, and have handled several of these. It addresses the changes introduced in vB 6, as well as some items that Xenforo left out in their vB 5.x importer such as the galleries in user profiles.

You can contact me via the link in my signature.

Thank you.

Thanks to those offering to help me out, but I actually managed to do it myself, with lots of assistance from Copilot. Fun, although a bit frustrating, manually editing those PHP files and doing database tweaks. Anyhow, the transition is done and everything is running smoothly and much faster than on vBulletin.
