I'm with BOP on this one. I coded my vB4 mods to vB3 by request and vB4 versions lead in downloads and installs by 10:1.

It's because of that, that I stopped updating the vB3 versions. I'll do bug fixes, but no new features will be added to them.

Besides, in my opinion vB3 will die a horrible death as coders move to newer versions of PHP. There are already some compatibility issues with PHP 5.3 and in most cases the only way to fix them is to roll back the PHP version. That may work for some people, but then if you run any other sites on the same server with a need for a newer version of PHP, your pretty much forced to change.
