Xenforo is really like high school.
After all this is the same community who actually gave and donated cash to a user who agreed to take a non-transferable license JUST to get rid of a user that they didn't like.....and then actually celebrated while ignoring that users action of piracy
These ongoing scandals with developers in the last 6 months, as well as the permissive attitude that Xenforo staff has to allow certain behaviors on their forums, just looks tacky.
it looks immature. It looks....high schoolish.
I realized the other day what MY MAIN ISSUE with XENFORO IS the very 'community'. Even as I still use the product, it is a good product(Still prefer IPB). It never really was the product. I am stubborn and I can adapt.
It's the atmosphere. It's the stigma of being apart of that community. No, it is not right to group a bunch of people together based on the actions of a minority. Except...it's hard not to do so when the minority is actually the most vocal and it actually drowns out the good people.
We've seen this on admin forums like TAZ. We've seen this on Xenforo sites like themselves.
Allowing the community to band together against these developers. Whether the developers are in the wrong or not, is just tacky and sad. You don't see this on IPS forums. If so, it is rare and the staff steps in.
I don't see this on WBB. Perhaps when Vbulletin was relevant, it was common there. After all, most of these idiots who use Xenforo and are extremely classless and rude are former Vbulletin customers.
You don't even seen this on Free forum software forums where that can attract all sorts of people and what not.
The Mindset of Xenforo.com and it is community is "We're the best. Everyone else is either copying us OR beneath us."
This cult like following, this hive mind mentality, this blatant disrespect of competition and even this in-fighting within their OWN community, just feels like High School.
Adults who have long since graduated and should've matured out of that stage are acting just as juvenile as I did when I was in high school OR just as immature as my 12 years old brother. The difference is...I am 19 years old. he's 12. These are grown ass people.
Reading various threads, Seeing various twitters and then the blatant lack of professionalism of Xenforo staff. It's really sad and that in itself is bad because the product I can grow to like. But the community alone makes Xenforo awful to me.
These are the type of people who i'd have to support their idiotic and often aggressive and classless behaviors by buying their products. I can't support that so I don't.
