Read some very interesting news today. Internet Brands, the owners of vBulletin have filed a lawsuit against Kier, Mike, and Ashley; the developers of the new and upcoming Xenforo forum software.
I’m really surprised that they announced it in public. But then again the timing of the announcement is even more interesting to me, since Xenforo was going to start selling their early adapters beta version later this month, possibly starting this week.
I’m been following the development of the software, but not as close as a lot of others. I don’t have any plans to purchase Xenforo, but if I was thinking about it, this announcement of the lawsuit would for sure make me think about purchasing it.
So for those who are thinking about buying XenForo, will this lawsuit stop you from buying?

My buddys over at Unique Blog Designs just released the Squeeze Plugin, it makes building squeeze pages with any WordPress theme a snap!
I’ve was playing around with it late last night and it’s a breeze! Even if you can’t design worth a crap (like me) it’s just simple drag and drop interface. Check out the video for yourself and see how easy it is to make a page.
I’ve built a couple of sites using squeeze pages and I’m telling you that they work. One of the best things about building an email list is that you can target people who have already opt-in because of your sites topic, so sending them deals or products that are related to your site’s topic, you can’t get anymore targeted than that.
Check it out! It’s only $97.00 and you can use it an unlimited amount of sites.
