It's not broken, addons are disabled because they need to be upgraded. Not updating xenforo version could result in everything breaking, so this is way better choice.

It is broken... 99% of the site doesn't work correctly. The old Xenforo version has worked for months if not years before this, there was no indication that it was going to break everything. (this is not a better choice)
The thread(s) to vote on what to do is completely pointless because the admins and site owner doesn't listen to any feedback when it COMES to actually testing everything BEFORE pushing the shit to production like any sane site or development project would have in place.
On top of all of that, we just got out of a multiple day maintenance mode just to be put back into one but worse because surprise we also need $400+ to upgrade everything or the stuff we previously had.

Hell you can't even see latest updates on games which is mostly why people are here in the first place.

1. There was a poll and 85% of the users voted to upgrade.
2. Once again, stuff was tested before.
3. LU page is being worked on, it's stupid to pay for addon that is being thrown away anyway.

Just came back from reading the thousand new discord replies.

Sounds like they have plans to nuke this thread and any future ones as well.

Basically 101 ways to slowly kill your forum.

Heck I always said we need to engage more with the game threads instead.

Guess we are in for a few days of Bitchfest after the update...Imma go over there and mind my own business and let Heisenberg and the gang do their thing.

You missed a big part in that option, most people wanted to upgrade... only if it wasn't going to break the site

2. Once again, stuff was tested before.

No one would consider this to be tested when 99% of the features the site had doesn't work

1. Once again, it's not broken.
2. You feel pretty comfortable posting on the forum where 99% of the stuff doesn't work.

First of all, don't spread misinformation that there are plans on "nuking" this thread. Second of all, as for "how to kill your forum" - even during rollback LC noticed increase of it's userbase, community is very far from dying.

Sure a mod alluded to it. So it's not misinformation.

Anyway your starting to get on my nerves.

Time to cool off and go offsite.

Might be time for the ignore option if it even works.

I am very sad to hear I annoy you, however I must intervene when such extreme misinformation is spread. To clarify, I assume you are referring to this:

Interpreting this as "nuking" is such a stretch it really needs to be corrected.

lurkers is like general chat. if it goes away then that would suck.

I voted for the upgrade
because I wanted stability
this site has been a house of cards lately
It would have been nice if everything switched over instantly
But it didn't... oh well... I'll get over it

and we lost some add-ons
we'll get some back

It's like when you get a new version of a video game
it's not as good as the previous one because you don't have all the DLC yet
but when the DLC does come, it's usually better that the previous versions DLC

you have to take a step backwards so that you can take two steps forward

Devs have a lot of time and money in this site
they don't want it to die
This is necessary to move forward

It was tested and this result was expected.

It's not broken, addons are disabled because they need to be upgraded. Not updating xenforo version could result in everything breaking, so this is way better choice.

1. There was a poll and 85% of the users voted to upgrade.
2. Once again, stuff was tested before.
3. LU page is being worked on, it's stupid to pay for addon that is being thrown away anyway.

So it was known that the updated version would cause problems, and yet it was updated anyway?
Why not wait and fix everything (collect enough donations) over time until all these add-ons could be replaced/fixed?
Was there any immediate reason to update right now and not wait a little longer?

A "Not updating xenforo version could result in everything breaking" is not a valid explanation, because it was apparently certain that the update broke things (as in force disabling functions), while the old version would still have worked.

Apparently the site had many errors that could not be fixed and was breaking the site down. Additionally I can show you this and I hope this is enough for you to get your answers:

Yeah just noticed that seems you have a lot to work on.

Mods don’t speak for devs

What's an user to a mod?
What's a mod to a dev?
What's a dev to an owner?
What's an owner to a god?
What's a god to a non believer, who don't believe in anything?

The answer my young padawan is you mean nothing to all of them.
