The latest thing to be announced was the iphone app. I don't see any mention of that on XenForo.
Maybe you should take this to the appropriate forum?

Are you sure you're talking about the same thing the rest of us are? XF has been around all of 6 months, how can they 'always' do anything?My Live vB5 Site - NZEating.com

There are probably many new forum software packages being announcements all the time, some are just not as well known as others, and many of those don't make it through to being finished but others do
There are also many forum software packages that people don't know about because they're not as good as the others (or haven't been advertised well), but they still exist
@Ace: In the past I came across many groups that have just been around for about half a month and get accused of "always" doing somethingComment

If people don't know about them, how do you know they exist?

I said not many people know about them, I didn't say nobody knows about them
Anyway, I'm just going to stop discussing this
Why discuss the pros of XenForo here? I'll tell you why not to... because this is the vBulletin forums
Why not also discuss the pros of IPB, phpBB, MyBB, SMF and other forum software?
Here are a few (and I'm just saying not many people know about them, you may have easily heard of them):
- MiniBB
- Vanilla
- Phorum
- bbPress
- Ninja Post
- Woltlab's Burning Board
There is also forum software even less known than them but I don't know a lot of themComment

That means that without any proof of ownership or correctness of claims, I'd be willing to sell you a few bridges and maybe throw in a few airports if price is alright.
Idea concepts are nothing unique, and nothing that gets 'stolen'. If anything, it's script systems playing catchup who might engage in idea snatching (and even then its not considered stealing, maybe at most recognizing good concepts and adding them for your customers).
Local example, the vb sidebar and iphone app.
With jelsoft's previously solid reputation, it's nothing unusual that statements from the mothership get believed at face value. Why believe differently after all?Comment

Do you know what I find amusing?
All of these people that badmouth vBulletin and praise xF (in this and other threads) are doing so on vB's forum. So in my mind, vBulletin must be doing something right, or all of these haters would just make like a rat on a sinking ship and shove off.
Perhaps they bash vB because they are insecure about their recent decision(s). Like after a bad breakup, they come back just looking for a reason to justify their actions, sadly of which, they have a minimal chance of finding.

Guess it has nothing to do with the fact that I have 3 licenses and 2 active vB forums. Besides, I have every right to be here as any other licensed owner does.
I'm still concerned about my vB forums and am not ready to convert them yet. The other forum software doesn't fulfill my needs at this time....steven

It's nothing new for the competition to be looking to get the edge on the others. That's life! Even if it means coming searching the competition forums for them. Even if xenForo have done it, makes it no different from the rest. Seriously, don't be that naive.
But here's something to think about then. Kier Darby was also top dog here before. So does that mean vBulletin did the same also with Kier in charge back then, as he does now with XenForo? Two edged sword there me thinks!Last edited by MRGTB; Sun 9 Jan '11, 9:05am.Comment

No single software on the market today can make the claim that they did not add a single feature that they found in a competing software.
vBulletin itself was founded on that principle, as a PHP and MySQL copy of UBB.Comment

Should Ford sue Chevrolet for stealing the idea of building a car? Intermittant wipers, cruise control, heated seats, power windows, remote door locks. Somebody came up with idea first, and everybody else followed suite. You can't fault a car manufacter for taking concepts from the competition and incorporating those features into their own products. Where the issue arises is when the intellectual property in the way the technology is implemented is infringed on.
So truth be known, there are probably as many ideas implemented in vB that were brainstormed after seeing an inferior implimentation or a third party add on as there are common ideas in XF.Anybody who says "it can't be done" will usually be interrupted by somebody who is already doing it.Comment
