Anyway, somehow I really am impressed by your ability to hope a product already sold as final for over a year might sometime, say, three years from now, become a shiny, or at least a halfway decent piece of software.

Somehow I don't get how the subject of the thread fits wiht your first post. Do you expect the community to buy the software? And what about all the time and effort the community already invested into vB (and IB gave a damn about?)

I'd expect for a signed online petition and spread it through the business media and to try and contact IB by phone, email and twitter in mass. Only then, they will worry about their reputation and respond to our demands, but venting our frustration within topics on forums isn't going to do anything because you're not affecting IB, you're affecting VB and they honestly could care less for one of their brands. They own many brands and some probably they make more money with than others.

You really don't know the power of a strong community and when everyone works together for one purpose but everyone has to be serious about it.
