Maybe so... But you didn't answer my question lol, why bloat the site with it if it adds nothing that BB can't do?
Markdown allows easy copy/paste from Github, Reddit, and other modern sites.
The bbcode editor used here parses images as thumbnails immediately, which messes up editing on mobile, at least iOS, and messes up copy/paste. Markdown doesn't have that problem. In fact bbcode is a mess when it comes to copy/paste, because of the wysiwyg editing that hides/obscures most of the formatting commands.
Markdown is standard and used on many platforms. BBcode is slightly different in every forum software it seems.
Markdown is clean, much easier to write than bbcode, and also easier to read in source form.

This is not viable for us to do at the moment.
Yes, XenForo supports it natively, but only XenForo 2.1 does, while we are still on 1.x
An update to the XenForo 2.x line would mean rewriting all our custom code (tens of thousands of lines of code) from scratch. It would take well over a year to redo all that.

Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here) -

I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
