I don't see why not.

ugh that's confusing.

I really hope they aren't thinking of raising the price... let a lone raising the price by a lot I cant be bothered to convert all my vbulletin to phpbb everything goes wrong T_T

I doubt it. They've only raised their prices like, what, twice since they've been in business? I know they've only done it once in the three years I've been customer.

I think we have have a good idea on if the prices will be raised or not, just google "vBulletin leaked" and you'll see some screenshots.
I personally think even if they do raise the prices, or start charging for version updates, I'll still pay the fee. I don't see myself leaving vBulletin for a while, I want to play with vBulletin 4.0 today :)

Thanks you

Wow! those screens are awesome! I like the idea of paying a one time fee for a license of the version!!

Very good idea imho, it will make a lot of people love vbulletin, even the people who would pay anything :)

Yeah, free upgrades till the company gets bought out again. So, how does it work with someone like me that paid $180 a couple months ago? I'll now have to pay another $195 just to get vB4, and if I don't, there's no more support or updates?

Yeah, a one time fee for the version you purchase, but more fees everytime they upgrade. They'll probably come out with a new version once a year anyways.

wow nice screenshots... I like vbulletin older versions better personally.. both in vbulletin and IPB I dont know why would both went on for a new look that doesn't really look good. I dont mind the rising price as I wont be upgrading my license for the newer version.

ditto, i severely dislike the new look, same for ipb's and phpbb's default new looks
