Atm, vB3.8 is running our site quite happily, and will continue to do so for a long while. We could move too VB4.2 if necessary, but in both cases the only likely issues are php compatibility, so I should be able to keep them running for years yet.

If it ever came to a point where I had to move, then I'd look at what alternatives were available at the time.

Yes, that's certainly what I am doing. At least, vb4 can run on php7 (however require modifying core classes), which is enough by now. In future, the only option is to move from vb.

Fun Fact #3: This thread seems to be the most replied thread recently. But we have run off arguments.
We agreed that there would be no vb6 in a near future. vB5 is lack of addons and vB want to tell us that we don't need modifications.
