So upgrade to 2.2.9 or 2.3.0 if you want to avoid database problems and corruption in the future.

My support has expired, so how much will I end up forking over again? I looked here: http://www.vbulletin.com/order/ and couldn't find anything for someone in my situation.

Also, once I get support again, I should easily be able to upgrade to 2.3.0 correct? (since I figured higher is better and that's what you suggested)

I was told once, what are those search and replace proggies that help you compare code and update files by code? Are there any that are more noobie friendly than others?

Is updating the php files all that's required to upgrade versions? I don't actively backup my site, but my host says they backup every night. So as long as I download all my php and other main files I shouldn't have to worry about the actual database right?

How long are we talking for doing this transfer? I run a rather old, highly hacked version.

Is VB 3.0 beta open to the public? and if so, if I decided to upgrade and go to 3.0 Beta, will there be a big difference in 3.0 beta and the full 3.0? I ask that because I'm not looking forward to going through all my files and updating them as there is quite a bit of tweaking thats been done. :dead:
