if your budget is tight and you don't have spare cash, wait for vB4 before dropping money on a skin. vB3.x skins won't work on vB4 and will have to be rewritten.

Again, vBSEO doesn't add to your forum activity, don't beleive their sensationalistic marketing that makes you think get vBSEO and you'll earn $1400 a day and 600% increase in traffic, it doesn't happen like that.

For the record, more of the largest vBulletin sites on the internet don't run vBSEO that do. Out of the top 25 vBulletin sites, only 4 use vBSEO. source

Oh, no, I know that VBSEO won't turn me forum into some ridiculous activity center, but even if it doubled my traffic I'd be more than content, as my traffic now is not that high. But, you're right, waiting for VB4 is probably the best idea, but I'm just so annoyed with the lack of news and updates on it. I really wish they had gotten us more excited with more previews and 'exciting changes' for VB4.

The other issue, too, is from what I hear, the first version of VB4 won't be much different, looks wise. So, again, I'll have to wait even longer until they -do- release the major upgrade version of VB4.

I just wish I knew how long everything will take, because I hate hanging onto the 'VB4' excuse when it comes to trying to make major changes to my forum.

Thank you for the input!
