discuss Paid Forum Sofware: XenForo

XenForo - Compelling community forum platform

XenForo is a compelling community forum platform with a premium user experience, reliability, flexibility and security. There is no better platform upon which to grow your community.

What mods and themes do you like? How do you feel about it overall? How would you compare it to other software?

My take is that it's excellent software, but it's not necessary for everyone. Well, I have used XenForo a lot in the past, but I sold my licenses because my project wasn't generating interest and sometimes, I get sick of XenForo, but not because of it being bad or something.

I started using Xenforo for my own forum because I was already using it on a lot of forums where I was a staff. This is the only premium software that I have ever used. Therefore I cannot really compare with other premium software but I believe it is better than open source platforms

I use XenForo more than anything. I have 3 forums using XenForo and 1 forum using vBulletin. I actually have an additional vb forum and an additional XF forum but I'm going to let those close, most likely, to focus on the forums that are actually active.

Overall, I like XenForo.

I like the showcase add on. I also like the theme house styles as they're easier to style than others, but Pixel exit as a lot of great themes as well. Doh themes has some good ones as well. I've been using since Xenforo for many years now. I was a huge fan of vBulletin, but I stopped using them after their 3rd and 4th version. The software just wasn't as good after that to me.

hehe Okay.

How would you all compare it to IPB or Wolt Lab?

I've always been keen on Pixel Exit themes. I enjoy the creators of them and they've always provided great and friendly support.

If the support isn't friendly, I tend to quit using the product.

I'd like to get back into XenForo for another project. However, now all is invested in my phpBB forum, and I'm not moving it to another software.

You are missing out. Xenforo is vastly superior. I've used phpBB. But if it works for you, that's cool!

They make cool themes. I also like Themehouse!

I've never really messed around with Theme House. Maybe I need to look into it and try new things. What do you like about Theme House themes the most?
