I've been a vB license holder for close to 10 years, and still run ONLY version 3.8.7 and that is because there is NO compelling reason to "upgrade."

This alone has very likely save me ALOT of trouble. And my members are happy.

Why do you want to screw with their hangout, their clubhouse if you will, with no compelling reason?

All I am trying to do is answer the question you posed, "Should I Upgrade to VB5?" and my answer is - barring any compelling reason, NO.

It's part of the reason vB dot org still runs version 3. Heavily modified, heavily customized, but most importantly the membership likes it the way it is and there is no compelling reason to "upgrade" it.
