I'll be honest -- I'd pretty much forgotten XenForo existed after the initial hype.

XenForo are screwed unless they get their fingers out and start interacting with their community. Tons of people have already left them for dead and gone over to IPB. Development has apparently xceased until the lawsuit is over too even though there are still major bugs (such as the lack of support for IPv6 - something I find shocking given how recently it was created from scratch...).

I know I'll likely be attacked for the above by XF fanboys and stuff but I don't care. I've bought a license that's now looking all but worthless.

Make a nice fruit salad.

Well, comparing a free software to a paid one is like comparing Apples and Oranges.

Hmm... what happened to XF?

XF was always overrated imo.

vBulletin lawsuit, Brogan left, KAM barely communicate with the community, no sign of the long promised 1.2 version, massive waits between releases, continual drama, the lsit goes on.

Probably. It brought so many great UI and UX concepts to a very stagnant genre of software though, and that's what got people excited.

Also -- they have a Twitter box embedded on their homepage, but their last update was 89 days ago. Seems like they are pretty much dead in the water at this point.

I believe there was a fallout between Mike and Kier, which is why development hasn't been moving any, if at all. It's understandable, considering all the money they're losing in the lawsuit. IB not only created a horrible software for the forum market, but ruined (Or, is currently ruining) a potentially awesome one as well. :/
