Come on Cellarius, that isn't the point I was making as you well know. I even stated as much in the post.

The issue is nothing whatsoever to with "slow, buggy as hell". It is that by and large, customers seem to prefer forums to function in much the same way they have always done. If you want to take vB out of the equation, it's why XenForo seems to do very well (software that works pretty much like forums always have), whereas Vanilla is struggling (software that tries to do it differently).
