Which Smogon forum is less shitty?

[Porii Sames]

Because someone had to ask

 

[Jukain]

XenForo, while not fully configured yet, is proving to be much better than vBulletin.

The one that hasn't been hacked yet?

admittedly it's been, what, two days?

that said, i do prefer xenforo.

[also i think this thread is a little too fast; a lot of people are still biased against xenforo because they're not used to it]

Yeah but vBulletin has had vulnerabilities forever and a day.

I'll bite, do you know why exactly this is, and why xen doesn't have said vulnerabilities?

I'm just curious; I'm not trying to sound like a smartass or anything.

Because a fair few other vBulletin forums have been hacked over the years mostly, phpbb is even worse mind you. Xen may have quite a few but I haven't really seen many of them.

 

[AccidentalGreed]

It's way too soon to make a judgement on this imo

 

[ck49]

I like this one better. I never realized people found me funny until I started getting 5 like notifications every day. That's what's important, right?

 

[Shiruba]

it's nice to wake up to a few notifications on the top. i've also noticed that unlike before the notifications don't scare the shit outta me by making me think 'crap did i get warned for something'

 

[AccidentalGreed]

I don't have any notifications :(

 

[Soul Fly]

I'll reserve judgement until chaos & co. get out of this pre-alpha stock design and colour scheme.

As much as I like xeneforo, I am a vbulletin fanboy at heart.

vBulletin 3 and 4 were basically disasters waiting to happen because they weren't actively developed anymore. 3 didn't get security patches anymore, meaning existing vulnerabilities would be found and exploited. 4 would eventually become the same way. I can't answer on the specificities of each package's security, but xenForo is at least under active development and getting vulnerabilities patched out.

 

[Theorymon]

Xenforo is better by being the more secure one alone. Now, this sort of "alpha" version of the forum is missing a lot of features, but they'll come in due time! Meanwhile, I find the smaller avatars to make browsing more aesthetically pleasing, and stuff like alerts and better URLs are stuff I'm never going to want to lose now!

 

[Houndoomsday]

yeah the alerts are what make me love the transfer- as soon as we get hide tags and a better looking background, i will be completely satisfied

As much as I like xeneforo, I am a vbulletin fanboy at heart.

i can understand being a fanboy for a lot of things, but a type of forum? ;)

 

[Steamroll]

Fuck vbullshit, this was way overdue.

 

[Honus]

this forum hurts my eyes lol

 

[Shiruba]

hm... what is the server/data consequence for differing/customizable themes? is there a good reason to lack them aside from not bothering to make them?
