Debating Xenforo

[Henry11]

I'd like people's thoughts on the site. We're creating a digital art community and we're debating between using our limited budget for a really nice zetaboards theme and prizes for contests, or using it for a nice Xenforo Skin and the obvious software.

What are the pros of xenforo? How does it stack up against IPB? Any neat features you guys like?

I think the UI is cleaner. Also, the new IPB is very incomplete. They released a forum software without very many features, and the MODs aren't there yet. If you're looking for a paid software, xF is the way to go. If you get on IPB 3 now, you're just delaying a swich to IPB 4. And IPB 4 for the time being is incomplete, and it will probably stay that way for a little while.
