[DragonByte Tech]

Hey all,

Firstly I would like to apologise for the lack of replies - we prefer support tickets created over @ our site as it is guaranteed these will not be missed, whereas sometimes we don't get notifications for threads here @ vBulletin.org. With over 100 releases, it's very difficult to keep up to date with every thread here

Secondly, we have no intention of stopping support for our existing vB5 products. As far as I'm aware, there are no outstanding issues if you follow the instructions Internet Brands provided for correcting their "broken modification module" issue.
Further to that, that issue (which I linked multiple times in the past) was for me personally the straw that killed my motivation to work on vB5. This is my personal opinion and is in no way, shape or form indicative of the policies or plans of DragonByte Technologies Ltd.

At this time, it's my personal opinion that we should wait and see how the hook system ends up working before we dedicate additional development resources to vB5. Internet Brands have in the past shown a blatant disregard for modification developers, as evidenced by the fact that vB5 was released as Gold in February 2013 after over a year of feedback from us and other modification developers that the system was 100% inadequate and insufficient, and we are still waiting for the completed hooks system to be done. Surely you can understand our frustration

This entire post, except for the parts where I state otherwise explicitly, is my personal opinion and is not reflective of the company as a whole.

It is the policy of DragonByte Technologies Ltd. to continue to provide fixes for reported bugs and compatibility with newer versions of vBulletin 5, however since vB5 is still very much in a state of flux (as opposed to vB3 and vB4 which are considered very much stable at this point), we ask for your patience if it turns out a new vB5 version breaks our products.

Hopefully this has clarified a few things. If you still have questions regarding our policies or our plans for vB5, the best place to get in touch would be our "Contact Us" form here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/contactus.php

Thanks!
