The migration from MyBB to XenForo is officially complete. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to David (@rdprdp01) who has made the continuation of the CB1100 Forum possible both by means of a huge commitment of his own time and energy and by financing it all.
We also owe @Mostafa a huge debt of gratitude. His formidable programming skills successfully bridged two very different platforms and ensured over a decade of community history, threads, and data made the journey intact.
The goal of the CB1100 Community Forum is straightforward: protect our legacy, welcome new riders, and ensure the forum remains the warm, dependable community we began building in 2013.
Nothing in this world is perfect, and there will be tweaks that can be made to improve the user experience. We’re happy to consider them, subject to an important consideration.
MyBB taught us just how fragile custom, third-party add-ons can make a platform over time. To ensure long-term stability and smooth security updates, we’ve decided to rely strictly on XenForo’s core software alongside their officially supported first-party add-ons (Enhanced Search, Media, and Resource Manager). In simple terms, that means that, if we can't achieve an improvement with the stuff that came in the XenForo box, we'll not be able to do it. That said, XenForo is remarkably capable right out of that box, sticking to its native functionality ensures the forum won't break every time the underlying software updates, and there's likely plenty able to be done. I mean @rdprdp01 figured out how to achieve a mod that others have had to right add-ons for.
So please don’t hesitate to suggest improvements or changes you believe will improve members’ experience on the forum. If we can accommodate them with relatively easy tweaks and members generally agree, we’ll do it.
Thank you all for your patience, support, and goodwill while we worked through the transition. We look forward to seeing everyone out on the new boards. More importantly let’s see pictures and read stories of your times on the bike.
