If you're not running 3.8.7 I think it's already an issue. You can't just assume all hosts have PHP 5.2.x available anymore. The "work around" is a cheap VPS where you can run any version of PHP you like but not everyone who Admins vBulletin wants to or is able to setup a VPS.

I think there's probably only another year or so before we see PHP 5.3 starting to get dropped as options from shared hosts. PHP 5.4 is out now and PHP 5.5 is currently in Beta.

The reality is you can't expect to be running your 3.x forum in 2 or 3 years unless you are in control of the software running on your server.

PHP 5.4 and beyond will bring performance enhancements that hosts will want to support.


The above is my OPINION only.

Also edit- When I say "you" and "your" I mean any VB 3.x customer, not talking about any specific setup- I don't have any idea how "your" forum is setup or running.
