I have v3.8 installed with around 5,000 users, 15,000 threads and 100,000 posts.

I also have vbAdvanced CMPS, 11 instances of vbDynamics and vbAdvanced Links.

Also Photoplog, vbTube and many mods from vb.org

What I thought was the best way to upgrade was:
- wait for v4 compliant updates are available on all the mods and apps
- develop a completely new site on a spare development domain with the db on the same server as the live db
- delete all the test entries on the development domain
- close live site down
- move all live site files to another spare domain for backup
- move development domain files to live domain
- use impex to import the data from old live site db to development db which then becomes the live db
- manually move the data for the addons like vbAdvanced etc from old live db to new db

Is this the best way to do it or is there a better way when you have so many addons - thanks for your help in this emerging nightmare
