I understand where u coming from Brad,but from my point of view its costing me a fortune because my board has a few custom hacks,and to have the same hacks on a new upgraded board means i have to pay for them to be coded once again because they stop working or mess the board up.

With every major release someone is making a fortune thats for sure.

Then don't update your board as often, no one is forcing you.

As long as vBulletin has competitors like IPB they will need to upgrade their product in a timely manner. I have a few versions of IPB and for a while their profiles and networking templates were a lot better than vB's..

You should take your complaint to the source (vB.com) and let them know you don't want new releases.. :p Good luck with that...
