for those scared of upgrading, give it a try yourself.

the vb license agreement says you can have another vb forum installed on your server, just as long as the general public (that is, your visitors) cannot access it.

If you have a valid license, you may set up an additional test forum in order to test code, template and database modifications. To make this clear to us and our license verification procedures, place it in a directory called 'testvb' and be sure to password protect it. It must not be accessible by the general public.

that's what i've done. i'm installing all my hacks on my testvb forums, then i'll convert them over to my regular forums once bugs are stomped out.
