That notice is there, which goes to show how well its noticed and taken into consideration.

Most of however know that hacks arent officially supported by VBulletin. Most us are used to dealing with programs and computers - so when something goes wrong, we know that if we undo it 99% of the time our forums will still work while we ask the hacker for help.

Newbies don't. I can easilly see them asking for help and a VBulletin tech going through the motions of tracking down the problem. Thats time and resources that could be spent keeping prices down and improving the next release.

As a consumer, if it helps keep prices down and improves support and contuined development - then by all means - to a new url I shall go =)
