2.) It loads fast and works well.

Somethingawful dot com routinely has 5000-plus users logged on and posting at any given moment. Its users don't give a red rat's ass that it's a really old version of vBulletin. I can list at least a half dozen other such sites which aren't upgraded and are really really big busy boards.

The "need" to upgrade is a myth.
