and in 2 months we will have this same poll asking between 3.7x vs 3.8x
Totally true. We're expiring 3.6 is what we hear, then we hear 5 different fixes for security leaks. 18 versions later and we still have security issues, seriously what's the point of continuing to spend money if there is always going to be another security leak?

I'm not scared, it's just pointless to upgrade.

So basically there was no reason to do it at all. Thanks for the input.

One major problem with that idea... If there's a security problem in the version you're using AND the last version of 3.7, there not upgrading is putting the forum at risk of the security issue. Then, you're basically relying on them releasing a security patch for an old version...

But no version of vB has been perfect [I'm Ok with that don't take me wrong] so by the same logic, never buy a vB's license [not-you but the end user]

I'm running 3.7 and will upgrade to the newest as soon as it comes out. I have albums turned off, cos it's a pointless feature when you have photoplog.

Huh? I'm all for them buying and using the latest version of any forum software, and I have no idea how you got to that logic...

I always run the latest version, I even run through Beta's to have the latest technology. It's an OCD thing for me.
