    I'm not going to convert my forum to Xen, but I may be interested in starting a new forum with it just to test things out, that is if it's not to expensive. :rolleyes:

    No, I will not be using xenforo.

    After a thread of mine was deleted at the xenforo forums, I am under the impression that the developers do not care what my needs are.

    However, I will be keeping an eye on the project. Lets say that in 1, 2 or 3 years the developers start offering features that I need, then I will consider trying it out.

    I feel the same, I think it's going to take a couple years for xenforo to even be up to pair with the 2 established paid forums.

    I have a couple of projects in mind, that I intend to use XenForo for.

    Don't want to convert in one or two year perhaps start a XenForo project, not before.

    If I get an IPB converter and integration with Photopost, I may consider. But with just vanilla forum script its impossible

    As I said in the other thread, at the moment I don't really like it to much.

    Having said that I have just purchased a good domain that would need it so I probably will start one.

    Won't start one but will purchase a license to get use to the workings. I have a few clients that have seen it and so far like it.

    I started a new one, but am now debating on starting to move over some of the existing sites.

    I want to see the software go "gold" before I start moving everything, but I'm definitely enjoying the software :D

    I transferred my site from IPB to xF this weekend. So far both myself and my members love it.

    I converted mine. I love the way XenForo acts.

    Originally, I was going to hold off on starting something new with XF until the lawsuit cleared up, but an idea just came to me (like they usually do) and I went with it. Completely new project (though not a new idea, I'm sure), but it worked out excellently.

    Would not change my current vb to xf ... too much work has gone into it and i like the way it looks and runs.

    Would use xf for a new project , will have to as i just bought the software :D i like the way it looks simple as that ... not really too worried about if it will be as big as other paid for software, it looks different and thats why i bought it.
