Mike, which was irrelevant if this is what he meant.. because we're not discussing the pros and cons of the Sphinx search. But what he said that was contradicting was "search under Sphinx on vbulletin.com is flat out terrible."

That didn't make any sense to me calling it flat out terrible. It appears that XF fans will go an extra mile or two to justify any answer. At the end of the day, we the customers will chose what is better, for XF fans not liking to hear the words "VB is better than XF" is absurd. They aren't being honest with themselves.

But, either way, are you trying to say that vBulletin has less or more "work and features" than what "XF is currently dealing with"? And what does the number of people with credits in the the vB ACP have to do with anything? More hands in a product development does not mean by default it is a better product than others.

Just to sum this up.... people should pay more for vB5 because there is a chance it'll be improved in the next two years and, in the interim, they should use the older vB4 version with its inferior search since, after all, they have more people assigned to the project?

You're proved your point already, your signature ---> (Sorry, but I am no longer developing for vB; please do not PM. So long, and thanks for all the fish.)

You're taking our conversation from VB 5.x then to VB 4.x and back to 5.x . The bottom line here is both VB 5.x and XF needs at least 1 to 2 years to shape up better and in the meantime VB 4.x is the better option at the current time.

This is my opinion, you can't change it. I already said, last time i checked, the newest version of Xenforo 1.3, kier was talking about functions that VB has - Spoiler and Multiple Quote http://vimeo.com/84587188 These guys are still trying to add all of VB default functions. How are you trying to convince many that XF is better than VB 4.x when we know the truth.

Are we done here?

I actually do recall your name from Vbadvance if i am not mistaken. It is a shame that Kier and Mike dragged the VB community into this while laughing in the background at many of you. But that won't matter, times will prove which product is better and most importantly which company behaves better toward customers or non customers.
