XenForo goodies: the trophies feature

✭✭
Don't know if this community has discovered XenForo: it's awesome piece of software. It's a pity it's not free. Anyway it could be important for Vanilla's inspiration&improvement too.
A feature I like a lot it's about trophies. Could it be added to Vanilla with a plugin? Or it's a feature that we could find in the future core?

This would be a pretty cool feature to add to Vanilla. Maybe not in the core but at least as an addon.
more and more. I have no idea, however, of how complicated could be to create a plugin for this. In XenForo is deeply part of the core.
you can earn points with the likes of others
users it's not a simply goal to reach posting anything. It's something that incentive to post in a creative way.
Upon your recommendation, I tried Xenforo, and I must say that it is astonishing. Vanilla team must learn something from them. The way they have implemented features and admin control are superb. I loved the simplicity of vanilla but Xenforo is classic.

Xenforo, without doubt is the King of the hill, at the moment. But it's similar to other forum
engines. Vanilla is similar only to itself and his design, very clean, is ready for
customization.
Xenforo has a bigger community (look at the members online on vanillaforums.org and on xenforo.org
now...) and, I suppose, more paid technicians that can work on it.
Vanilla is free and, I guess, with less human resources.
But, the only things I'm missing, sincerely, is some speed (Xenforo seems a little bit more responsive:
the innovative way it loads and recalls graphics maybe helps) and a similar way to manage admin advices.
On Vanilla all features are intuitive and the new ones (like trophies) they are working on don't
weight the thing.
Vanilla seems a forum made by Apple, if you intend what I mean...
Personally, I was undecided until the last but in the end, thanks to the saved money and to
this community also, I decided to change. To change for real.
I suppose it's alright, not all that innovative.
It's coded with Facebook and Twitter in mind.
Agreed. But upon having a look at this I suppose XenForo is no different than vanilla. Just few more improvements to vanilla core and with the help of other developers, we will be riding cloud 9.
