- Last year, XenForo banned us from renewing our license with them.

- I am developing our own forum software in Rust.

- Since 2013, I think I have written 4 different chat mods from scratch for 3 different software suites. Our chat works very independently from the main forum.
- To encourage production and interest in the new forum software, I have shimmed a new websocket based chat from it.
It's very new and I may turn it off and people hate it that much, but it definitely runs very fast, which I like. Any improvement on this chat will also benefit the new codebase when/if we ever switch over, which is also nice.
Keep in mind, when you complain. the hardest and least productive (long-term) things to do and add involve XF compatibility. This means custom emote support, XF-specific bbcode, @ user tagging, etc.
