I'm pretty sure that's actually my line, and none of the admins here noticed I added it to their lines.

Anyhow, the automobile comparison really doesn't fly - seldom do auto companies totally screw up new models anywhere near as much as v4 and v5 are.

I have had exactly zero persons give me a compelling reason to "upgrade" from v3 to v4. Because there isn't one.

Just like there is no compelling reason to get the newest Cadillac if the one you have isn't giving you any trouble, suits your needs and your family (read: forum board members) like it.

Software doesn't wear out from use like a automobile can.

I see your point from a purely marketing perspective, however. The Cadillac dealer should always be driving the latest Cadillac - but other than for show, he has no compelling reason to do so.

vB dot com has the latest IB Yugo, vB dot org kept the Cadillac.
