    I hope you’re getting an IPS employee discount…😉 these plans are just not financially comparable to self hosting, especially for multi-site owners such as myself. No matter how much math I do, it’s not even close for me.

    You are talking about Xenforo or Vbulletin?
    We already have features in teh self hosted to use Redis and Elasticsearch if we want. I don't see any reason why we wounldn't also be able to use Node JS if we wanted to.
    If im not mistaken, the realtime new features uses Node JS. IPS already submitted the code to the cloud platform, why not doing it also for the self host, and who wants to use, they simple install and configure Node JS. The ones that can't do that or don't want do that, well, they don't use the feature. 
    We already do that with Redis and Elasticsearch.

    So you can't get this unless you are spending $549 per month? That's a bit rediculous. I'm ok not having this, not a game changer.

    I wouldn't call this an innovation, especially when it's gated to 5% of the community lol
    This is yet another example of how detached IPS are to their customers. The fact that such a simple feature is excluded from self hosted licenses, but also gated in a $600 per month cloud plan? waaaaaaaAAAAT?

    If this trend continuous, need to find options to migrate to Xenforo or other forum applications.
    Forcing self hosted clients, so that we can use trending block is just crazy in my book. Apologies saying as I see it. It's ok to make profit but their is border line between profitable business vs RIP off business and I am feeling, it's later for being Self Hosted licenses if this trend continuous. 
    As many others said above, not paying 549$/month  for trend block.

    Include in title that it's only for biggest clients and you are screwing self-hosted clients. Would save me some time - just another thing you do not care about. 
    I'm a client for 9 years and I'm getting more and more anoyed with your solutions for self-hosted clients.

    How is this different than the "Popular Now" block available for Pages?  "Popular Now" merely looks at topic views or replies but not reactions?
    It seems like this would be similar, except maybe it has enhanced weighting of various factors (replies, reactions, etc) to gauge what is "Trending".  Not sure why you'd reserve this for the highest level of pricing, conceptually I would think someone could code a custom add-on/widget that applies configurable weights to classify their own definition of "Trending" (site owner defined) relative to topics and likewise embeds that where desired.
    Like the idea, just not fan of the restriction, unless there's a lot more going on here that I could be overlooking and is enterprise level complexity.

    I don't believe any gaming communities outside of developer/publisher/merchandiser forums would actually be able to afford to use given the restriction to business & enterprise cloud plans

    Something I always wanted, but doesn't sound like it will work as I'd prefer - it would help if this was an option during the moving topic process, make it an option to create an alert for the topic starter whilst on the pop up for that.

    Be careful using the copy settings function. I enabled all and it also turned it on for forums that do not have a sub forum, leaving the current forum in the sidebar selector (weird). Then I tried to copy settings to off and it will not work. Had to shut off one by one.

    One of my sites was similar… was using phpfox, vbulletin, Wordpress, and some other scripts. Too much to maintain and align, moved to IPS and converted what I could.

    That would be very helpful, hold for moderation if contains a link for new registrations. You can already moderate all links but not isolate for new registrations only.
