XenForo is an Internet forum software package written in the PHP programming language best known for being used on the Schlog, the Shroom and Kiwi Farms. The software is developed by former vBulletin lead developers Kier Darby and Mike Sullivan, having the first public beta release of XenForo released in October 2010 and the stable version on March 8, 2011. The program includes several search engine optimization (SEO) features.

On November 12, 2014, Chris Deeming joined the development team. One of his products, Xen Media Gallery, now XenForo Media Gallery, joined the XenForo family of products.

The software is heavily influenced by Facebook, with the reaction system being the most prominent evidence of this. As jewish the prices of the licenses may be, it is generally considered the best forum software, because of its moderation system, features and customization.

It is closed source, though a lot of sites like the soysphere forums just pirate it instead of paying for the license🗝️.

One day before the scheduled release of the first public beta of XenForo in October 2010, Internet Brands announced that it would file a lawsuit against the XenForo team in the UK, claiming copyright infringement of property acquired by Internet Brands, use of code in XenForo that was refactored from vBulletin code, breach of contract, and engaging in unfair business practices[basically jewing a lot of code and saying that they made it + exploting xeir workers].

On February 28, 2013, XenForo announced that the lawsuit had been settled between both sides in both the UK and the US, making a lot of selfish drama for nothing. Although specific terms of the agreement are private and not avaliable for the public, Internet Brands withdrew both the US and UK lawsuits.

XenForo announced that all license holders with a valid license from June 19, 2012 would receive an additional 255 days of support and download access.
