This is a valid enough question and there are those who think VB5 should have been kept under lock and key until it was super-awesome and show everyone the finished product only, whenever that may be.

HOWEVER there were an equal number of people on the other side who wanted to see VB5 as soon as possible so they will have some clue what the future holds and so mod developers can begin working so they have a chance of having popular mods ported by the time VB5 goes gold.

There were also many people who said they would not buy a VB4 license because they "knew" VB5 was around the corner. Now that we sell VB5 licenses they people can buy a VB5 license and will always be able to upgrade to VB5 for free, and they can still run the 4.x suite in the mean time, and for less money then it would have cost them last month.

So while I understand your logic and your opinion, please understand there are good points raised on both sides of the argument.

As for [IMG] BBCode it works just fine for me on the demo board.
