XenForo is a forum software created by former VBulletin developers. If you have used Vbulletin 3.x and then upgraded to 4.x you know why there are a fair share of 3.x forums out there. XenForo is simple and better and is not trying to be more than a forum, as Vb does. Recently I’ve moved […]

I’ve had my eyes on a Subaru Forester for a few years now. I totally hate the new models, the third and forth generation look more like every other SUV on the market as Subaru needed to appeal to people thinking the Forester is a station wagon. The strategy worked, and Subaru is a top […]
