Have you ever paid someone for custom modifications/plugins for your forums?
Over the years i've paid people to re-create the same feature for both IPB2, IPB3, and Xenforo 1/2. The custom username formatting from IGNBoards. I use it now on my Xenforo forum and i'll probably have to get someone to update the 2.2 add-on to work with 2.3 in a short while here but to me, it's worth it to keep it going. If i were to ever change back to IPS i'd have to get someone to make that plugin/add-on for it.
