Yeah vb 4 has lot of stuff I do not need, skinning aspect seems to be tougher than vb 3, though I did make some vb 4 custom themes it wasn't nearly as good as vb 3 themes. I also like my forum to remain a forum and not be a social networking or cms platform, vb 5 seems to move onto the social networking side, similar to Xen. I am left with vb 3 or MyBB but obviously paying 150+ for a license I feel I should make full use of vBulletin's Brand name.

My main concern is just the security patches. I don't want to keep getting hacked for new exploits being discovered and not be able to patch them. Hopefully vb.org would play a helpful role there.
