I expressed concern at the time, but Ray's reply was that they had not lost experience from the team.
A large number (if not the majority) of the savvy vBulletin admin are still with version 3.
Those people, myself included, are excited to see XenForo because we know that Kier and Mike know what they are doing. Looking at their software, it is patently obvious.

Yes Kier , Scott , Mike's departure from vBulletin was a huge loss within vB Team however why vB failed has nothing to do with Developer quality. Things would not be different even they were on team.
