I agree. Xenforo is the best compared to other free/paid alternatives. If you understand their template system then you can almost make a fully custom website using it.
I know this can be done using other softwares but Xenforo is much stable and better in my opinion.

Xenforo I've seen used before back in the minecraft days, and it's really user friendly as well.
Almost all, including my Minecraft server used Xenforo and Spigot :3
Either Xenforo or enjin xD
I was doing website development on a marketplace forum and these Enjin sites are fucking disgusting as hell lmao.
The best ones are the free ones, with pop up ads xD

Yeah, that's true.

To be fair this happens with most initial releases of forum software.

MyBB is also open source so you can modify the code to your liking if you desire. It has a decent plugin system, themes are relatively easy to code even if you just want to make minor changes to the default theme. Forums need modernising, especially the free software. I think MyBB are still stuck behind the times a little.
