Would You Ditch Your Current Software?

I wouldn't ditch vB on my forum for anything, it has done me well.

Now I'm using IPB I wouldn't switch, very happy with it.

If i found a suitable reason to change yes would

I started with mybb then SMF because i found SMF a better fit for me.

Wanted more diversity in my niche since my competitor who was larger uses Phpbb3 and went xenforo

and i just changed from xenforo to IPB.

for now i am quite content and satisified.

But for my new project i am about to work on, I actually eyeing VBulletin.

I would switch to whatever benefits me most. I don't see the reason to stick to the same one. If you were to come up with something today I would gladly use it if it were worth the trouble.

If something better comes along, then yes. And better in this sense means the usual stuff; more/better designed features, a nicer default style, better/more modifications to use. I use what I think works best for my website, and if that turns out to be something I'm not using I use it.

My first forum uses Xenforo and I have no plans to change that any time soon. I want to build one or two more forums this year. At least one and then the third early next year. I plan on using Xenforo for both of those forums as well I'm happy with it and will stay with it.

If you asked me a 3 years ago, I wouldn't trade vBulletin for anything. But since it was acquired by vBulletin, #@^& it. I ditched it.

xenForo is the new baby for me!

It's honestly such a big hassle to switch. Plus MyBB is really fun to work with, so I would say no.

I have no interest in moving away from vb3. While xenforo has caught my eye, I just do not see the value in porting everything over or upgrading since its working so well now.
