It really says something about their product in my opinion and I would say in from a publicity point of view... When the developer will not even use their latest product in public in all aspics & rather elect to use an older ( v 3.6.12 ) product which is currently in or close to "end of life".
It would take an immense amount of work to develop new mods and styles to work with vbulletin 4, it's not a testament to the 'failure' of a product at all. The current version works for what vb.org need it to, and they've put in alot of work to get it that way.
vBulletin 4 isn't that bad, you have to put some effort in, but it can be made a stable and stylish forum. I've put the work in on my site and would never consider moving down to 3.8, I now have a forum system that I and my members enjoy.
