Why the migration from NodeBB to XenForo?

[kenygamerpe]

Personally, I think that the migration of the LEET Forums from NodeBB to XenForo was a bad idea. I can't fully understand why the LEET Team has taken this desicion and how good are the pros versus the cons to being, from now on, paying a license to keep up the forum.

My question was "in what sense?"

Idk like I said idk

I have no idea either, why was this decision made, exactly? I'm wondering that too, but I'm guessing it's because they wanted to link the forum account to the auth account? Not sure

Tagging @MrCakeSlayer and @Droid as they may answer to your question as my opinion

The answer to your question is that Xenforo, according to spajk, looks more like a forum than nodebb. Not to mention that nodebb used to always break with the simplest of actions... it really was a nightmare to maintain... which isn’t the case for Xenforo. To add to that, Xenforo allows many opportunities that nodebb doesn’t. For example, using leet auth instead of the usual forum auth system (allowing you to be able to have one account for everything related to leet).

Now that your question is answered, why not admire the new design.

Not to mention, but, customizing your profile is so much easier like your profile picture for example.

Yeah you can upload it immediately instead of having to deal with gravatar... which is way more convenient and time saving

- Hosted by leet.

- It took around a couple of months

- I’ll leave that for you to explore cuz it would take forever for me to explain all the differences

The current design isn't final. For one, the bars between posts are ugly. We will be modifying the design according to our needs.

I thought Cake said NodeBB is crash prone as well.

Yep... the simplest of actions from the admin control panel (such as reloading nodebb for example) would crash it
