Forum Software Drama Killing Forums

Some fans, I believe they get paid to defend certain software, does not make it easy for forum admins to make a free choice.

I don't know if I would go that far. But some scripts have their core sycophants that will defend their choice poison until they are blue in the face, even which confronted with facts that negate their position.
They seem to take personal offense if you say anything negative about their chosen software. But that behavior has been around for decades. It's why you see the term fan-boi frequently.

It sure has.

It was like that with vB when XF was born. Now it's like that with XF. It's like that with all the free platforms, too.

Fan-boys are everywhere.

The thing here is because the developers of Xenforo came from vBulletin and their loyal supporters moved to Xenforo right after.

It’s like movies and shows. Some prefer to watch a movie or a show if their favorite actor is in it.

As for me, I’m glad that I was able to try other softwares and I was never glue to one platform. I used SMF for years, then Invision, then vBulletin and now Xenforo.

I always use a platform that I prefer to use and I like. I don’t jump on one when others discuss it and swear by. The same thing applies to music. If a song sucks to someone else and I enjoy it, I’ll still play it.
