Maybe this certainty was baked into IB's recent legal settlement with a big competitor.

Xenforo is hardly a competitor. It was just a temporary hype filled with propaganda, and it is dieing for a while now. 50k registered members/client on their main forum --> Members: 50,866, is hardly any competition compare to VB.

It is true that whenever we are disappointing with the way IB is handling VB and the lack of innovation and future features, we always tend to hype another forum software that isn't even complete. It is just how things appear to grasp more attention, so they can start listening and i think the main issue here is investment. I don't think IB has a vision for forum software and wants to expend it in the market to make it more social rich in features or similar to twitter. They neither appear to want to invest in it or hire more quality and new web developers to advance Vbulletin.
