I can understand that people on vb.com can miss the most important factor regarding the announcement but it si really interesting to see that noone even at vb.org cares about this.
vBulletin 4.0 will not be a rewrite of the whole system. It has just some improvements but the core will not be updated. Most important factor for me is not complete. I am highly dissapointed with the annoucement.
If I think Lizard King is refering to this post...

That isn't what the announcement says at all. The core of vBulletin 4.0 will be rewritten but it will be refactored in steps instead of in one interation. What will be released in the Spring will have several core pieces of the backend refactored. Much of the backend is already in an an object oriented approach.
The plus side of this is that Addon Authors can progress their products at the same time and more of the current addons will continue to work after the release. Though its doubtful any style modifications or styles will continue to work.
sounds like alot of good changes..... i really do hope multiple forums sharing a single userbase is finally supported natively. i still have yet to find something that works well enough for me to use.
very excited to see a cms coming though.... the front ends have always lacked imo.
Though its doubtful any style modifications or styles will continue to work.
Visuals are arguably an equal or perhaps greater component to the popularity of vBulletin than mods. I hope us style producers get some consideration and advance help in this arena and not thrown under the bus, so to speak...we have long memories

Arguably, with a semantic layout, you would have more control and an easier way of applying style to a vBulletin page than you do now.
