If that's what floats your boat, frustrating major releases may make you happy. vB customers once were used to high quality releases, and even beta versions ypu could happily install without a second thought if you had half a clue what you were doing. This fundamentally changed with vB4 Gold, and vB5 is even worse.

And let me tell you something.... vBulletin is not what it once was.

You don't have to literally remember something to know things are always buggy and unstable at the beginning of their life.

I read through a number of things about people whining that vBulletin 4 sucked when it was first released and calling vBulletin 3 God; now vBulletin 5 is what sucks and vBulletin 4 is the God. There was a guy complaining about it back in 2010 on a forum I currently regularly visit here.

Anyway, instead of wasting people's time and energy, if you don't like something about vBulletin 5, actually do something about it and make improvement suggestions rather than just sitting here pointlessly complaining and hoping something will automatically happen to improve it.

like its getting new things or just security patches?

No, it's definitely at the end of its life. This recent release was for PHP support, I believe. All vBulletin 3 gets now are security patches.
