Not Implemented Update the forums?

Neutral, but it does kinda look good as it is right now (at least for me)

 

I've been meaning to reply to this thread because I'm sure a lot of people might think we aren't putting in the effort to update the forum, but we are not going to update the forums at this time.

Updating from our current XF version to XenForo 2.0 is not easy, it is a very complicated process. First and foremost, we would have to find an updated version for ALL of our add-ons, some of them not even existing at this time which are currently the backbone of the forum.

Secondly, we have tried to update in the past, but it only led us to more bugs and breaks, which is something we do not want to risk again because imagine if the forum just deleted itself.

Thirdly, I am not a huge fan of XenForo 2. A lot of people think that it's a nice and neat version of XF, but it honestly sucks. It's way too compact, way too professional, and really weird. I've taken a look at a demo version, and wasn't a fan of its structure. Personally, I'm a bigger fan of the current forum version.

There is a lot of potential in the current forum version we have, it's just a matter of how much effort we put in. Personally with the new updates and add-ons, I'd argue that our forum is much better off without XF 2 as it has been altered a lot, to make it less compact and more relaxing.

I will continue to work on forum updates, and we can definitely add more add-ons and edit anything necessary, but updating doesn't seem necessary, especially with how annoying XenForo 2 is.

Hope this makes sense! This is why I'm denying the suggestion right now, but you never know if XenForo releases an update that suits Mineverse much more! Even then, we'd have to wait a while to allow developers to recreate their add-ons that we use.
