I've never found one compelling reason to move to vB4. It's clunky, massive and ugly. It's like Windows Vista was, trying to be something it's not. In this case, trying to be web 2.0-ish.

It was rushed out and was and is still a security problem. It's getting hacked daily, judging by all the threads here about it.

What do you need support for? Most everything ever needed, you can do or find a way to do. It's like a older car - it's still going to look and run just fine if you take care of it.

Exact reason they are sticking with vB3 here - there's simply no compelling reason for them to upgrade.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.
