Can XF be trusted to accurately and honestly publish their bug report numbers? While I trust the VB community, and have been moderating VB boards for many years, and am aware of the odd problem that does pop up, my limited experience with the XF online community has not been favourable at all. The image you included in your post is really nothing but user reported bug threads on their board and I think anyone who is honest is aware how they 'regulate' what is posted there.
Good point... I suppose.
But is not vBulletin's bug tracker user reported bug 'threads' as well? To imply XF (the big bad evil entity ) is lying about the amount of reported bugs it has resolved is not fair.
Afterall - like vBulletin's user reported bug tracker - it's in the best interest of the community to report actual bugs and to see them gone from the script. We all know how vocal communities can be - you know what I mean. And of course we all can see how it might be in XF's best interest to hide actual bug reports. But unlike your experience, my experience with XF online community has been rather sweet. Furthermore - nothing in my past years of experience dealing with vB and XF would lead me to believe Kier and company would do something so devious!
Also - before someone says something about the devious comment: Putting someone who is disruptive and a troublemaker in the moderation queue does not quite qualify as devious in my opinion. Neither does waiting out a 365-day non-compete clause -- then again pursuing a passion for coding fabulous forum software!

The actual point of my post was to refute Joe's assertion that vBulletin 4 is steeped in a stable codebase. Unfortunately - It's my opinion that the vB bug tracker screencaps do a pretty decent job of showing that the code is a little less than stable LOL
I've heard your argument before by a handful of people. I don't understand it tbh. I keep thinking to myself - Why should vBulletin's bloated featureset be an excuse for how buggy it is???

FYI - Here's a screencap I took back on November 30th 2013:
When juxtaposed with this one taken hours ago:
The lack of progress in sorting these bugs is simply depressing. Does Internet Brands not care how buggy it's script is?
Ah. How I miss the glory days when Jelsoft were in charge.
