Ridiculous that vbulletin 4.x isnt updated to support php 5.4

[owning_y0u]

the past few weeks we made major efforts to consolidate our website and upgrade everything Core PHP software and that kinda stuff. Everything worked fine until we where running in php warnings and double posting errors in vbulletin 4.2.

Back in 2012 it was announced that php 5.3 is reaching its end of life status in the near future.
Since the early 2012 vBulletin staff has posted that a fix for php 5.4 was planned

vBulletin 5 is far away from being usable as professional forum software, IMHO. Problems with the basic user interface that makes it far less usable than even free open source solutions for a successful forum. I cannot have current users confounded and frustrated by the myriad of issues which are confusing or simply don't work as expected.

So what is a customer of vBulletin supposed to do?
All forum software that competes with vBulletin (includes free open source forums)- is compatible with php5.4

We have fixed the issue with parsings but vbulletin developers and the internet brands management should already have patched out the incompatibility of vbulletin 4.x with php 5.4
