Hmmm - it was my understanding a mass exodus of sorts happened as a result of vB 4. Developers and designers closed shop. Whether or not we can explain this away by saying forums are loosing traffic to social networking sites is probably a moot point... I think it's safe to agree that the introduction of vB 5 Connect did not help one bit.

It may also be debatable as for how "stable" the vB 4 codebase is, especially when you consider the vBulletin 4 tracker lists hundreds of bugs marked as 'unresolved'



I know I know I know - You've told me before, "There are a number of bugs in VB4 in the tracker, yes- do they really affect the day to day operations of a forum? Barely if at all..."

Whatever the case may be ==> These numbers are startling!

And since this is a thread about vBulletin and Xenforo - Take a look at Xenforo bugs as a comparison:
