Suggestion to all new customers

Do not buy anything from vbulletin - you will be disappointed for your money!

Before i buy license for forum and also buy separate license for vbblog! Both is active today!
Today i use vb 3.8.4 and vbblog 2.0.2 -
can upgrade my forum to vb4 - but will lose about 1000 posts and articles from vbblog 2.0.2 or i can buy "suite" and continue use my blog- but i will not buy suite and i do not need CMS - will never use it!
I some customer can not make choice today what i want to buy or renew licenses!

That is shame - wrote to support about that and get answer - will copy:
We are no longer offering the blog as a separate product. If you'd like to use the blog with vBulletin 4 you'll need to purchase a 4.0 license.
But when i buy it was separate product and it was not 10 years before - (it was 1.5 year before). Nobody said that in future maybe it will not be separate product - they needed money in that time ... and today is same - no honesty no honor ...
will my money back (blog money) and will never never buy suite license!

Today i can download vb4 and upgrade my board - but will lose blog entries, pictures, posts and articles (more then 1000).
I can renew my license to vb (one year more), and still have same effect or problem. That mean that i must buy suite!!! My answer - Never!
Seller should not press me what i must buy - it is customer choice! It is human and honesty!
Because of that - recommended to all - buy nothing, because maybe in future you will also get answer like i today!

i think you must ask about your situation before buy a licence...

my opinion is your error is yours

This is so old it really wasn't worth the time to make this post. Most users that were upset are running vb4 now.

Point is that we users or customers can not get chance to renew vb3 licenses, for some another prices! But inestead we are pressed to purchase new products if we want that our products still works, and that is robbery and against law.

If i want go to store and buy windows xp - nobody can press me that i must buy windows 7 or windows vista or that i must buy throught license agreement from different product! And i do not care who is owner of store, or say to me that my windows xp will not work if i do not buy windows 7!

That is shame for vbulletin and against all customer rights!

Do not buy this throught this robbery policy!

You're not the only one that feels left out and shafted by vBulletin Solutions new licensing structure, but before I take a side, was your license active and current? I really feel for the people who had a active and current license with the forum and blog and are taking the shaft like they are. If you've let your license expire and lapse then really it's a moot point imo as you wouldn't have got the upgrade any way.

But this has all been beat into the ground numerous times before on many different sites and topics.

Yes, both my licenses is active today - and i buy and paid (renewed) both like separate products!
Problem is that people (customers) did not see that robbery from vbulletin side ...

Considering your inability to read your Blog licensing Agreement, you probably haven't read this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=225368

and, did your exact copy/paste of this thread on vbulletin.com get deleted, so you started it again here, and there?
