from a coder side of things -- which nobody seems to care about, supporting the old hacks that are used by 1% of the population is just harrassment. how much people still use a 3.0 vBulletin, and in that number, how much are using the hacks released here?!... compare to the number of coders who are still supporting their 3.0 hacks, and you will find a number close to zero... forcing these guys to continue supporting their old hacks is just slavery.

oh, btw Paul M, you are right about Jelsoft on vb.org, but i think they are mostly refering to supporting the older versions abroad the system... vbulletin.com is not supporting it anymore, so it's good to follow their support -- if you still have vb 3.0, you have to hire/call for specific support.
