XenForo to vB5 - A viable option?

Both are small forums with a few thousands threads or less. Show me a big board. Or even a medium size site.
One that has been on vb5 for more than 2 months and is not planning on switching again.

 

You are right! I overlooked that as it has a very long list of forums with a small number of threads in each and vb5 doesnt seem to have a statistics block.

Apparently it works for big boards. I wonder if there are also sites with thousands of online users running vb.

lol Ozzy! Mind that being stupid does not equal ill intent.

 

Who is to say what's viable...

Those are the only two active vBulletin 5 forums I know of where the owners have persevered with the product and as far as I know both are reasonably happy with their choice. However I don't believe it's been plain sailing in either case.

I'm probably one of the few people that likes vBulletin 5. I like the interface and it has functionality that you won't find in other products. The fact that there are no add-ons to speak of is a big problem as is the lack of off-the-shelf styles but that wouldn't stop me from using it. It's the bug count and the time it takes to fix them that makes it completely non-viable for me. Running a successful forum is hard enough work as it is and you really don't need to add to that software that's still horribly bug ridden.

 

Sorry Bird, but that doesn't even add up to half a reason.

 

Lets translate:

1. Because its vBulletin its crap.
2. Leading in what not in features or improvements, so it means there leading in bugs
3. Go for this software its better

See fixed the list

 

Your answer didn't have any real reasons, so I'm not sure why you expected a different response.

 

I don't see a similar answer to the post you made a few days ago that you referenced above - did I miss it? To me it looks like it was just ignored which could mean several things, one of which is that it was a good answer and nobody had a refutation for it.
