it's like asking -do you hold your can of soda in your right hand or your left hand ? some things are good with one and some are not.

I went ahead and took the time lastnight to more throughly check out our current software Xenforo.
Although navigation is a little different. ..its all there.
I can say that once I fully get used to Xenforo..I will prefer it over Vb due to the small things like alerts and such.

See as a webmaster myself who has to worry about server resources, load times, SEO, etc. XenForo is just a far better software when it comes to those things.

I can understand why there are a lot of fans of vB when it comes to the users, but old times die hard. vB just was not the same after IB Bought the company.

So reasons why i like XenForo more:
- More user interactive. No more middle man pages with the smooth ajax interface.
- Much MUCH better on SEO. Search Engine Optimization is key for websites wanting to help maintain good flow of traffic and new users.
- Faster load times. XenForo is not as bulky and is less of a server hog.
- Lower Resources needed. Again. The software is not as much of a server resource hog.

Servers are now needing about half the resources to do the same job.

There must be a reason why a lot of the internet's top forums that use to run vB or some other software is switching over to XenForo.
My statements above are just a few of many reasons why I prefer XenForo.

vB5 was a disaster. Anyone in the vB community even knows it and admits it.

I think if the skin was a little different, I'd like it more.

Is XenForo not compatible with ForumRunner?
