    There have always been users selling vBulletin licenses. There are also users switching from IBP and xF to vBulletin. Its a matter of prefrence and which script you feel meets your needs. This is and always will be true. People should use whichever fits their needs the best and they also like developing (styles, templates, addons, plugins etc) for.

          Perhaps you were a few years too early to do that.


          vB5 is unequivocally the best forum software, but not yet...

              I haven't seen any site switch from XenForo to vBulletin. I've seen many switch to XenForo or IP.B

                Regardless of merits and own preferences, technical difficulties in migrating can make it a pain to move away from some scripts (as example, I myself see conversational private messaging as one critical aspect that must not be botched in migrations, yet there's no real best onesiefitsall solution to convert from conversations to 'normal' PMs).

                  I've read @ two or three posts where someone asked about a XF to vB conversion, but haven't seen any sites actually convert as of yet. Is it even possible?

                    Have seen folks looking to convert from XF also.

                    Currently impex does not support xenforo.

                      The request for an XF to vB converter has been made.

                        Maybe the 10 people owning a xenforo license are still happy.

                          There's a lot more than 10 people owning a XenForo license, and you know it.

                              FWIW, I've seen a few people want to convert to both vB and IPB from XF.
