I am reluctant to upgrade to anything. I do not need the extra functionality of newer releases, but I've been paying Jelsoft annual subscription because of one reason only: I wanted to be sure that in case a security issue was found, I would have the necessary fix for my site. I've been paying them all those years, just for that.
When this vulnerability was announced (and the vulnerability was fixed with vB 3.6.10 and vB 3.7) I contacted Jelsoft complaining about the fact that they didn't issue a security fix for 3.0. Guess what? Next day they announced the end of life of vB 3.0. So no more support. As if this was not a security issue but a simple bug fix. That's how Jelsoft treats its customers.
In any case, if I decide to upgrade my site to 3.7, I might work on AWS again. I'll need it for my site and over the years since I stopped working on it, I've improved it greatly. Unfortunately, this will take some time, since I need to first familiarize myself with the new coding acrhitecture of vB, as it has been implemented in vB 3.5 and later releases.
So folks, please do not hold your breath.
