No they won't, because a lot of people won't renew at the current prices. I certainly won't be paying the $500 they want for my two licenses, but I would have continued to be a customer if I'd been allowed to renew at the old price.


Customer loyalty is important in any business, particularly a fast moving one like this where competing products are being improved all the time.


In the last couple of years VBulletin hasn't moved on much, but products such as IPB have. One of the reasons I stayed with vBulletin was because of the cheap renewals, knowing that eventually there would be a major upgrade that would be worth waiting for.

But if I want to buy that upgrade it will cost me $100 more per license than it will cost me to buy IPB.

Why should I stay with vBulletin now?
