It's not vbulletin, I'm on plenty of vbulletin forums with more traffic than the coli, i mean way more.. it's your servers brehs
the vbulletin sites you're on probably dont have as many aftermarket addons like we do. daps, alerts, tagging...all that shyt doesnt come stock so we're relying on 3rd party coding to get those features which dramatically increase server load. our server would be overkill for a stock vbulletin board with this many members. all those features i mentioned plus many more come built-in to xenforo which is always preferable to a third party addon.
xenforo runs extremely smooth on our current server. we've had the test site running side by side and theres been times where it takes 30 seconds to load a page on here and it a xenforo page will load instantly

Good stuff. Will donate on launch date. Are you guys considering the social group notification I wanted.
i'm installing the social group tonight and will test it out but by all indications show that it does have notifications.
