This is partly my point. vB.org is not a hobby board. It's an official, professional vBulletin modification site, and as such, it's my opinion that it should be an example of all that's wonderful with the latest, greatest vBulletin version. It should be a showcase. Sorry. But vB.org on 3.6.12 is not a showcase of what I would consider a modern forum platform.

It just looks old and stale imo. In comparison a board like http://theadminzone.com (which is on 3.7.x) looks incredible. IDK - I just think the .org deserves an upgrade.

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.

Wait a sec - how are you adding things to folks' lines again? Didn't Paul notice you suspiciously close to his Dr. Pepper?! LOL

Anyway = Gasping at vB.com - the Yugo... Touche about vB.org keeping the '90 Caddy -- but it's a classic now and seemingly in spectacular shape. We should place it in a museum so that all can glory at how marvelous it looked in 1990.

Time for an upgrade. No compelling reason - but the clock is tickin :P

Sacrilege! Noone in their right mind would give up Kitt. But since we are milking (or have milked I should say) the metaphor, I'd like to put in a vote for a Kitt-like Sleek Black paintjob for the .org? Pretty please - because Kitt in Purple Rain is driving me bonkers :P

Anyway - excellent points all. I truly do understand the 'if it ain't broke - don't fix it' thing. But you can only lie in bed saying such a thing for say 7-8 years before you really want to ((here comes another treacherous analogy lol)) change the bedroom sheets.

Ah... Yeah - and then there's the entire mobile friendly conversation...
