    Unfortunately I think this answers the question(s) that most everyone in the know has been wondering.
    Personally, I am a bit ticked because I sold XF to a customer as an ultimate solution when I still have an unused license and still could have used VB.

    If I am mistaken in thinking XF settled and Mike moved on because of it... Someone correct me.

    It sure sounds like it from what Brogan posted. Doesn't surprise me at all if a split happened.

    I won't speculate about what is happening. I have said all along that xenforo was doomed from day 1. My reasons weren't because of the lawsuit either. It was other reasons that are well documented here and at other places where I discussed it.

    Brogan has already said the same here before, so why are people that surprised by what he's said now on XenForo?

    Same thing, and most have read here linked back to from XF before in another thread.

    Yes, Xenforo seems to be doomed.

    In our country it is a crime if someone posts that "development is ongoing" (when in fact it isn't) just to sell licenses of a product with no future. I've a feeling that we'll see an official announcement soon.

    People have been predicting this doom for a while. The only regret I have is starting a community on XF, but thankfully I haven't had time to promote or grow it.

    I'll be switching it to IPB or might wait to see the future on vB5.

    Edit: Seems the Xf community is starting to get restless again. I'd expect another brief appearance in the forums from Kier or Ashley with a meaningless post that is vague and offers nothing of value as to what exactly is going on there.

    One thing is clear though, that development isn't on-going, and the place is in a death spiral right now... a la' RIM

    What is going to be interesting is what all the fanbois who have fooled themselves all this time will do next...

    They will bitch, moan, cry and make every excuse in the World as to what happened for a couple weeks and then scurry back to vbulletin and declare that vbulletin is the best ever. You see fanboys can switch allegiance in a heartbeat.

    I was surprised to see that long (14+ pages) discussion thread removed. (the one containing the Brogan post shown above)

    At xenforo. com all posts regarding to the fact that there is no development currently and that XF as a company has serious problems are removed without notice. Whole threads and single posts. Posts and even signatures are manually edited by them if they contain content regarding this matter.

    At least, you truly can say that business ethics have no value at xenforo. com. You simply cannot trust them any more.

    But the current Xenforo software provides a perfect foundation to build your individual forum web site with. So it makes sense to get a few more licenses as long as supplies last.

    What is going on there is a total meltdown. Moderators are running wild removing posts and editing sigs while the owners let it happen.

    I wouldn't care if it was the best forum software ever built, which it isn't, I wouldn't invest one more dime in the company. It is little more than a shill to grab perspective buyers money. I liken it to the Nigerian or Ponzi scams.

    It must be very hard for Brogan to watch the silence when he knows the truth. I'd be furious.

    It doesnt make any sense to buy a license. Yes when you buy it today you are buying it for what it is now but also 1 year in the future...and the way it is looking, there is a very goo chance that there will be no XF In on year.....

    I see it as they are in complete self destruct mode.

    Here are a couple questions I need answered.

    How in the hell does an idiot like Slavik become a moderator?

    The guy is a tool and clearly has no common sense. Editing posts, signatures and replying to closed threads to get the last word is the worse thing any moderator can do. Not only that, but, he and Jake are the face of xenforo right now. If it was me I would rather close up shop then to rely on Slavik the idiot as the face of my company.

    Has Jake lost his friggen mind?

    His no worries, nothing is wrong post to every topic asking about what is happening either shows he is clueless or just too stupid to realize the ship is sinking. Is he really that daft? Come on man. Grow a pair.

    This is a sad state of affairs. The things we know are this.
    • Mike is no longer involved with xenforo.
    • Kier evidently is but his ego will not allow him to admit things are falling apart. In his fantasy world all things are well.
    • Ashley is as clueless as Kier and also doesn't care what happens.
    • No development is going on.
    • A few people know the real story, but, will not say anything out of loyalty and friendship. I fully understand this.
    • Jake and Slavik the idiot are the new faces of xenforo.
    In the next few weeks I bet the full story will come out. When it does I suspect that it will not be a real shock to anyone except maybe the staunchest supporters and the clueless. You'll see much denial and hand wringing. The blame will fly to everywhere except where it belongs. Squarely on Kier's shoulders.

    I for one can't wait for the final axe to drop. It will be as much fun watching that as it was when vbgallery settled with Photopost.

    I don't mind Jake, I think he seems like a nice guy. But here is the problem though. On one hand you've Brogan, an ex moderator spelling out doom and gloom is coming at XenForo on Admin Extra, then Jake making everything sound like a bed of roses on XenForo. One of them is wrong, obviously?

    We all know who is wrong and it isn't Brogan.

    I'd tend to say the same, Brogan doesn't work at XenForo anymore so has no reason to keep things hidden. Where as Jake does work there, so he's not exactly going to say otherwise is he. I don't think Jake is the kind of person to tell lies on purpose though, I doubt he knows much.

    has it officially come out that Mike is no longer with XF or is this still speculation?
