Sure the vB code should try and accommodate for all of this, but sometimes it is not feasible.

When I write my mods, I try to make sure everything is correct, but sometimes I even overlook stuff.

Mods are not what I am talking about. Mods are free and when you accept free software you accept it as is for FREE with no expectation of bug free software.

When you PURCHASE software then you should be at the very least be told BEFORE THE PURCHASE that warnings and/or errors exist and are being hidden. Not telling a potential buyer that these conditions exist is tantamount to deceptive selling practices.

Also, how do you explain the comments from Zachery a vBulletin Support Staff member that, and I quote:

"For a long time, no one actually had touched the code that did all of this, and the code base goes back to 2002~ or so when vBulletin 3 development started. Every developer from that time period is gone. We don't have that knowledge laying around anymore. "

He is actually saying that they are selling software containing code that they know nothing about. Unbelievable!!! Not only is he saying they are marketing a product they do not fully understand but that they apparently do not have the skills necessary to understand it.

How do you rationalize that?
