We waited so long for vB5 to be similar to vB4 or vB3 in regards to having a decent plugin/hook system that imho it tanked vB5, lack-there-of in regards to previous customization capabilities compared to "can't do that on the cloud", "can't do that on vB5", "no decent plugin/hooks system exist" is what killed the community here and the developers soon followed so basically you waited too long and the girl you loved married the other guy!

I mean after all if the community can't depend on the developers who depend on vBulletin themselves to maintain a VIABLE product then what was there for us to do besides sit and twiddle our thumbs or help the community. Many of us do help, some more than others and some as often as possible but to have others assume that we should work for free and help for free is not right in the least, it is however their prerogative and right to assume and ours to simply know the reason why we do work for free or ask to be paid and simply keep on trucking.

Like I said above in the first part of my semi-rant (lol) "waited too long and the girl you loved married the other guy" is what vB5 sounds like in my head . I mean I could be proven wrong, there is still time to make it more VIABLE to countless customers but since it took this long just to have the system that allows you to make it "yours" by customizing to be re-introduced while still "lacking" as it is now does not speak highly to me that it will be anytime soon that we shall see a viable worth-while vB5 that's been customized in and out and looks sick as HELLO!
