vb4 offers nothing of interest that makes it worth while to migrate to that. It does have:

• 800 bugs. Even though there were thousands more, 800 bugs is still an insane amount.
• an aborted rewrite. Meaning spaghetti code and low coding quality.
• looks just as outdated as vb3. It can not exactly compete with XF or IPB. lol.
• the vbCMS suicide issue
• various unwanted addons no one asked for. (which can be disabled)

So with these handicaps, what does it offer to make it worthwhile to upgrade?
Currently nothing that I see within vbulletin.

What is worth considering is certain addons only available for vb4.

*sigh*

1. No it doesnt (as has been pointed out to you time and time again).
2. I'll grant you its a bit spaghetti in places, but most users dont care about the code. Calling it "Low Quality" is just pure rubbish.
3. Thats pure personal opinion, not fact.
4. What ? Talk about being a drama queen, Suicide ? I dont think so.
5. The fact you dont care for them is again purely personal preference, not fact.
