I do wonder what it says about people who think the most important thing about vbulletin.org is the version of vb it runs on.
I disagree with that. Either it says something about the vBulletin product or it says something about the staff behind vBulletin and its sistersites. What's a wonder is that people continually justify the use of vB 3.6.x on vB.org because it'll be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much work to upgrade all the custom mods blablabla ==> Poppycock!
vB.org is a community of coders, designers and vB enthusiasts. The upgrade to vB 4.x would not be such a HUGE job in my assessment no matter the amount of customization that has gone into it creation... BUT it would be a foolish decision if you only take into consideration the amount of bug fixes that have come out since the gold debacle.
An "official" software site (and all sistersites) should be running the latest, greatest version of their own product. This seems a no-brainer to me.
But then again - I imagine the vB.org staff is mostly a volunteer one... But we're not talking about a mickeymouse organization - we're talking about a million dollar business. Surely if vB 4.x series was stable enough - vB.org would have been upgraded when it landed on the scene. It would be a way to BOAST that vBulletin is the best software. Period.
