I don't want to put words into anyone's mouth but I understand the number of regular users of this site being able to be counted on two hands as a justification.

If the site had thousands or even hundreds of active users, meaning people who do more than download and leave, I'd venture it would get more consideration.

As of right now you can count the number of active developers on one hand and the number of daily users who post on two. If they announced they were shuttering this site when vB4 is declared EOL I would not be surprised in the least.

They are going to shut this site down? :confused:

:down:

*sigh*

What?

Did you see anyone say they are shutting this site down anywhere in this thread?

No... you saw someone speculate that they would not be surprised if it happened. There's a big difference.

Yes, to be clear, what I said was that if vBulletin closed this site (and presumably moved the add ons and modifications to vbulletin.com in the process) it wouldn't be surprising.

When there were thousands (or even hundreds) of active users consistently it made sense to have two separate sites to split the traffic bandwidth and server loads. With this little traffic, not so much.

Maintaining one site is less work than maintaining two, especially two with entirely different core software versions and structures.

It would also by default update this site and add a mobile version.

Regarding mobile.. This is what most of my clients sites look like. You can see here that almost 70% of all traffic is through mobile on the example I posted.

It is true and I am right.

I think everyone who has an opinion about this has expressed it, Paul has been clear about vBorg's stance, and so there's really no practical use letting the thread continue to go on.
