Congratulations XenForo on buying Invision Power

My thoughts are that if he did actually buy xenforo that he would somehow devise a way of allowing customers to use either one and bring new ideas from xenforo over to ipb and the other way round. Its pretty obvious that if they made ipb users switch to xf that would cause alot of angry customers and that would potentionaly put them in the same boat as vbulletin.

If the guy brought IPB he would shut it down or some how convert the two together. My thoughts.

I could see the two being merged together more than anything. Especially with the way the economy's been these last couple years, no one in their right mind would even think of running two companies at the same time, unless they could truly afford it. So if something like this were to happen, I think a merge would probably be a more reasonable option.

My thoughts are he would make all IPB clients transfer to xenForo 😛
Lol. I could see an official warning popping up in my ACP.
"You are running an illegal script. You are required to download this xenForo conversion and apply it to your board or convert to a different software. If you are found using the IPB software after January 1, 2012 legal action will be taken against you."
:lol:

Yeah, but would they really threaten to take legal action? Or would they just simply recommend that you switch to Xenforo? Or better still, would you be allowed to even operate on the same IPB license you had (assuming it was still good for so many months/years?)
 
Where is this official talk of XF acquiring IPB? It's not like Matt to sell his company IMO....
 
Oh lol I thought it had to be something like that. 🙂 Still, would be interesting to see if it really happened. 🙂
 
Xenforo make IPB better? LOL!

I am not a fan of XenForo I only post on forums that use it when need be.

I'm still kind of iffy about this software. I don't particularly like it, but I don't hate it either. Like other softwares, it's got it's pros and cons and things like that. Would I ever want to use it on my own forum? Probably not.
