Nobody said to do something like this. Say that vB5 does not exist. Work for vB4 and, why not, for vB3.

I do agree with your comments for abandoned scripts/styles. Have never released a style. But I do understand the designers. How frustating is to need to update their style after each vB release. So many changes, so big changes.

As for vBulletin to being freeware, I don't think so. But a better pricing is a must. Let's say around $150, or $100 with a yearly renewal cost. Actually I believe that this was the big mistake for IB. They increased the price hoping that they'll continue having big amount of sales, and they stop the annual renewal which actually is bringing cash at home. To be honest, for me (as client), was very profitable to have paid once on November 2009 for vB4 and even today, after 5 full years, to be able to download the latest version. If it was still active the old pricing schema, I had to pay ~$400 for renewals (if I remember well the renewal cost was around $80).
