XenForo has revoked our license

The results of this will be Null creating his own forum brand he licenses out for money just like XenForo but superior.

And I hope he makes a metric fuckton of money from doing so. Sadly, the market for forum software is going the way of the demand for Atari 2600 games in 1983.

I dunno man if you signed a user agreement that says they can do that then what did you expect? And if the agreement doesn't say that then of course they can breach it, you can always breach a contract, and then it becomes a matter of remedy. Which is why they wouldn't in this dumb hypothetical since yanking a popular business OS would put them on the hook for many money (ie why they'd obviously cover termination in the agreement).

And contracts are only one area of law; Microsoft having their own secret police routinely cross-referencing social media to their customer database is probably another whole matter, I dunno. That would be nice but I'm probably being optimistic.

If you're talking about software EULAs, they've long been considered legal vaporware given their absurd length, complexity, and one-sided wording that MASSIVELY protects the company at the expense of the consumer/enduser. We're all waiting for that magical day when a EULA issued by a corporate giant like Microsoft or Apple hits a court to see if they're all they're cracked up to be.

Just some random thoughts:
  • I hope @Null does consider open sourcing the code when ready. Security through obscurity is neither. Failing that, go proprietary and make some bank on licensing. Better though to go open, set up a 503c, and get some fat sponsors and suckers I mean donors to support the project.
  • The comments upthread about focusing on the platform infrastructure or the platform community are true. That said, when Null was working on ... 9chan?... next?.... Whatever it was, the forums still carried on.
  • Fuck xenforo.
  • Seriously getting to the point of "build your own bank, build your own internet, build your own planet" with this cancel b.s.
  • Could someone get a Thiel fellowship for this?
  • I take it the distributed forum software isn't the future for communities like this, or even activitypub communities.
  • Hey, at least lowtax can finally upgrade.... Wait, what now? Troons? Sold? Dead? Who got his lovely artwork?
  • If there's some way for us to provide value for value, let us know.
Edit: go for a +nigger license.

Wait, you're telling me that a software company is run by faggots? Say it ain't so!

Shit sucks, but I guess it could be worse. Doesn't seem to be a big issue, right now, and you've already been working on a (hopefully superior) alternative.

That was part of my original point duder. You can't have it both ways: if EULAs don't count then they also don't bind the provider to be provide you with anything, right? But like I said, it doesn't matter because agreements basically can't work that way anyway when it comes to services/forcibly maintaining a relationship between parties.

Don't do it in rust, whoever recommended that is a retard, autistroons will find a way to fuck shit up because they change it so often, software with commits to it yesterday doesn't build with the latest rust compiler because they mess with it that much, this is going to backfire, mozilla trannies will push some compiler update that rapes your ass and requires huge rewrites because they modified how some feature worked.
Use something more stable like golang.
