New Forum Software with a few interesting features

Just heard of this new software on xenforo.com, thought I'd share it.





http://launchforum.com/

Its just very plain and too simple for me. Whats your thoughts?

 

looks just like a basic forum integration into a website, not forum software itself...

 

It looks good for a off-topic forum

 

That Joe Ward guy comes from vBSEO, so perhaps he might really be onto something.

 

Really? Wow didnt know that. This is pretty interesting then, curious to see where this goes.

 

Explains why the URL structure is so similar to vBulletin's under vBSEO. Apparently this guy doesn't work for them anymore, though.

 

Needs work to compete with the big boys in my opinion.

 

Yea, its not going to be easy for them.

 

I've seen people try to make their forum softwares many times, never have I seen one start off from such a small scale as this.

 

Is this a download or a hosted solution? I can't find a download or sign up button anywhere on that site... Nonetheless, this should be interesting for Vanilla Forums.

 

Both actually. You can either have them host it for you or it is available in a downloadable package to self host. It is not available for purchase just yet.

 

Purchase? Ha. It looks nice but I wouldn't pay for it. Vanilla is free.

 

Isn't having choices great? :p

 

Its alright, but I wouldnt pay for it.

 

Launch forum is a new forum software still in alpha.

What do you think of it? I think it looks a bit like Xenforo

 

Theres already a thread for this. Merged.

 

Never saw that

Do you think it is good enough to have a cost for it?

 

Personally, no I wouldn't spend my money on it.

 

Don't think i would yet until it gets into later, more developed versions but I have been promised a free licence for just been there and testing it for them so im going to be using it

 

Oh cool let us know how it is when you start testing it.
