Former vBulletin lead developer Kier Darby to develop new forum software?

And who decides what is important or not? That was my point.

If the masses want something and the developer has other ideas, WHICH has happened in the past, what makes Xen any better than vb?

I brought that up with them actually and it sounds like they will try to communicate with us if an idea is out of scope for various reasons. They are also trying to keep users posted as to when a feature may come up if it is in the deck of cards. What makes this different is that we can then choose to hire a coder to create it or not as the case may be. It remains to be seen if it works out that way but a brief check of the suggestions forum over at XF leads me to believe so.

Ahh Common sense where would be be without it. If everyone wanted to have a big bold red blinking text on the home page saying Register Here but the developers thinks it will hinder the philosophy of the clean design of xenForo they should not implement it.

The primary condition to see if a feature will/not be added is if they have used it. Regardless of their answer, the community then suggests and converse with the developers to see if it can/not be implemented.

Maybe support wasn't the right word. What I meant was listening to what the customers want.

Do you have a particular time frame in mind as well?

[Boofo]

Yeah bud i don't mean total developers decisions, just listen to the important requests and stop trying to please everyone.

I don't agree as without customers desires being taken into affect, the software would go in a direction of what one person's idea is of what it should be.

Until they run across some suggestions they either don't agree with or don't feel like taking the time and effort to add.

Yep though their decisions are very good and it's what decides how successful the product will be. Please excuse me but if they follow every suggestion that has been suggested the product will be bloated, a failure and inefficient. (remind you of anything???)

A quote from a member.

With vision like this, I don't need to be listened to. I keep looking for things to add or something I don't like, but I've got nothing. Literally.

considering it's a new script, with very few if any customers, it's not surprising the devs are listening to them..LMAO

Proves that they can learn and adapt.

That's like comparing a Volkswagen Rabbit to a Cadillac. Less bells and whistles means less code. Sure it is going to be more stream-lined and faster in its present state. But I also remember times when Kier wasn't so open and understanding about support. He has more to lose now.

What do you mean "support" ?

[Boofo]

It's currently faster, and more innovative than vBulletin. At the rate, it's going much faster than over here, but then again, I'm not seeing proactive development, only behind the scene.

Wow, I killed the thread activity :/
