As I said over on vb.com:

I read the leaked stuff a while back and really thought you'd have understood by now exactly where your customers stood, given the outcry at the time and since, but I guess not.

2 weeks to buy based on screenshots is just ludicrous and I especially love the $195 (+) forum fee on every big version update. If that's not a massive incentive for vBulletin to increase the version number far faster, then I have no idea what is. You can deny that as much as you like but your new focus entirely on money and your complete disregard for your (previously excellent) reputation and your customers says everything we need to know.

Oh well, it's been great - I've had a lot of fun with vBulletin over these past nearly 2 years. It's too bad that had to end and with such a blatant money grab too. I'm truly disappointed.

It really is sad that it all ended like this, as I've had a ball with vBulletin, but there's no way I'm paying $200, even every year or two. Not least because of that huge incentive to screw the customer over and the complete disregard they've shown to their loyal customers.
