Also worth mentioning that a few code changes will also allow 4.2.5 to work on PHP 7.2 and beyond. My current board runs on PHP 7.3 and has been tested on 7.4. I'm also fairly confident it'll run on PHP 8 too.
Nice! Have you documented the changes required anywhere?

I haven't personally, because I've also swapped out large chunks of existing code (I maintain the codebase with another developer that I work with) - but there are some diffs posted around documenting the necessary changes to get vBulletin 4.2.5 functional on 7.2+.
One good man who supports my forum for many years, have the vbulletin LTS site: http://vblts.ru
Hope it is usefull for vbulletin 4 forums.
This is not an ads because current vbulletin lts version is free.
