• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

  1. XF2 upgrade

    Ehh, I'm probably done with this thread, since everyone seems dead set on XF2. I agree that the argument has gone nowhere, and don't care as much anymore lol. They've heard my opinions.

  2. XF2 upgrade

    I said that when I believed upgrading to XF2 was $250+ a month, and missed the self-hosted license (it's sneakily tucked away on the Xenforo site), which is far cheaper. It would've probably been more economical operating under my original assumption of $3k a year to just hire a dev instead. I...

  3. XF2 upgrade

    First of all, there's no need to be so emotional. Second of all, that just sounds like sunk-cost fallacy to me. It's commendable that ultima333 has been paying for XF2 out of pocket, but if there's a better alternative to XF2, there's no reason to remain with it. I think you guys are greatly...

  4. XF2 upgrade

    Of course I'm aware of this. I think it's a joke that XF1 has this forced branding, just as I do with XF2.

  5. XF2 upgrade

    It's good that they can't revoke the license willy-nilly. I hadn't read that part. However, they can still just refuse to provide updates. According to XF's site, they are based out of England and as such don't benefit from US-based laws: The UK doesn't take too kindly to fictional...

  6. XF2 upgrade

    It's a paid ecosystem in that you need to keep paying XF to receive updates (12 month extension must be purchased), and they can refuse to provide future updates by not doing business with you or even revoke the lifetime use license if I'm interpreting it correctly: As an aside, they do...

  7. XF2 upgrade

    The ugly UI is but one of the issues with XF, as mentioned above. There's also the search operators not working and QQ locking itself into a paid ecosystem that can drop it at any time due to NSFW. And from what I see of the QQ XF2 demo site, it has a lot of attention-grabbing or annoying...

  8. XF2 upgrade

    With +battletech and +gundam, I'm able to replicate your results, but not with +test and +nope. This is likely due to the fact that battletech and gundam are mentioned often together. I'd argue open source is more dependable than Xenforo; to give an example, phpBB has a history going back to...

  9. XF2 upgrade

    I address this in my post:

  10. XF2 upgrade

    While correct about the threadmarks, it feels like you're cherry-picking only one of my gripes regarding XF2. Open source software still wins out in all the other categories mentioned. And unlike proprietary platforms, it's easier to change open source software to suit your needs, without pesky...

  11. XF2 upgrade

    I'm not sure what you're implying, but I'm mainly a lurker *shrugs*. We all have to make our first post somewhere. There was nothing I felt was worth replying to before Anyway, regarding the XF2 issue I'd recommend the mods of this site convert this forum to a free and open source one like...

  12. XF2 upgrade

    It's worth complaining about. Xenforo 2 is built from the ground up to be a time-wasting advertising delivery platform in a way XF1 isn't. It's designed to clutter up your screen with unnecessary information, grab your attention and make it harder to find what you're looking for. To give you...
