Correct, won't ever happen.
I won't rule out moving to Xenforo though, but it would likely need some form of major prompting like something failing, or for good long term technical reasons.

Where 'datacenter burning down' clearly isn't anywhere near 'major'.

I think Dave is referring to major failing in smf itself, not other stuff.  It's not like SMF caused the datacenter fire.

Hmm, actually wait a second...

Seriously, some people just dont know how to disagree, state their reasons why, and move on.

A weird comment, did you post this to a wrong thread? I think I have never seen such unanimous total agreement on this forum, ever.

I think we need to thank the OP for joining everyone together on this. Maybe the idea was just a positive version of trolling? If the OP was serious, though, I kinda feel bad for them.

I feel bad for the OP too.

Unanimous agreement with what exactly? Changing to something else because it's not SMF, changing to discord or something else that  the various posters  like, or leaving it as it is because the new stuff is crap? 

Somebody else suggested there should be a poll. But this thread and all the polls I can recollect attract a very small number of responses largely selected from the vocal minority. And a very small minority at that. There are thousands of forum members who have not chimed in with their thoughts. Should they be assumed to be happy with the status quo? Or not?

I agree with TomS. Some people do not know how to disagree and move on. That is why these threads devolve into the agreement of a few who discourage others voicing differing opinions and then they stay silent.

A few years ago when I first started noticing this behavior I decided to see if there was anything in it and I extracted the names of posters and the number of times they posted in selected contentious threads. Long term members will know the ones I mean. One thing was consistent. You didn't have to go past the top ten posters to get past 50% of the thread. Often-times not even ten and a lot more than 50%. I'm sure some of them thought the world agreed with them too. I concluded those that disagreed mostly left the thread.
