I'm talking for the old users, who, as I said before, they have no reason to visit the modification area.

Well neither is the viewing count of the discussion forums then, can't be because who's logged in and who's just searching and from where, did they arrive here via Google, Yahoo or other? Also how may times do you imagine forum owners search for mods or have questions related to vB4 yet end up within a old thread related to vB3? We can't compare apples and oranges but we can enjoy the taste of each.

I dunno but if anything this is food for thought
