Well - at the same time - there has been umpteen posts about IB being in it for the money - if that is the only reasoning behind all of the recent changes, shifts, resignations, etc. -- then one can logically deduce that is in the best interest of IB to put out a fabulous product. I too found it interesting what Floris said
"And I still believe vBulletin is market-leader for a reason. Converting over to free alternatives such as SMF or phpBB or commercial alternatives such as IPB or UBB, honestly feels like a downgrade." --- Ergo - if you are worried about the immediate future of the 4.0 series - then I'd say it's safe to say "don't worry - be happy" --- But yes - One interesting human condition that many of us share in common: worry. I think all the speculation I've seen in so many threads & sites around the net only adds to that. 3 cheers that vBulletin/IB will soon introduce some novel concepts to alleviate all the worry and such, so that we fellow vBNerds can continue to enjoy the most innovative online interactive software currently available
Jacquii.
ps -- Hmmmm - I do wonder about some comments made about the vB.org site - Will certainly be interesting to see what actually comes about.
