Should i switch to XenForo?

[gmaister22]

First of all if any IPB, XenForo or vBulletin fanboys are about to reply, you just ruin the post, so fanboys give yourself a cowboy boot

I'm thinking switching to XenForo from IPB... I find XenForo way faster, better (SEO wise at least) and i also think that it's design just looks a more futuristic software... what you think? Should i proceed? All i worry about is...the skins

Well everything you said is almost true XenForo is good software i mean everyone knows who made it, however do not worry about skins there are already several XenForo skins developers just google it.

Yea i found the skin i use and its ported to xenforo too....

Now the dilemma is if i should convert or not

I'm using XenForo and it works great. Fast, low resource usage, and loads of plugins and styles.

never use it before,but since everybod saying it's good i think i should try it sometime

[gmaister22]

I'll have to check how flexible and tweak able xenforo is though

SEO wise, yes XF is good, but i still like IPB

IP.Chat and all those things are awesome features of IPB which lacks in XF

I think SEO > Chat any time any place

well, but when you have active community with lot of members, than Chat is important than SEO, atleast that's what i think and have used for my forum.

I think chat is important for only for SEO.
