Closing this site just isn't on the agenda, indeed it's part of the support process to refer customisation queries here. vB3 and vB4 are still supported by the support team, it's only ongoing development that has stopped, and in fact that had already been the case for years, Paul was only doing php compatibility changes and some minor bugfixes. There has been no 'active' development (new features, improvements etc) of vB3 and vB4 for several years now, I think 2012/2013 in fact when 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 came out. vB3 it's actually back to 2009.

In terms of support: Support tickets and forum queries are all still given equal priority regardless of version.

Nobody can say what may happen in the future obviously.
