On the contrary, it is very stable and an upgrade from 2.x->3.x is to be out this week or next. It has been running live at www.vbportal.com since December and a few hundred members sites since March. I would highly recommend it. It also supports multi-portals and vbportal have a head start of having already converted a lot of the popular modules since phpnuke 4.0 days. The new vbp3 isn't based of the nuke code though and is not prone to the 150 + querys that all the nuke modules are. 15-25 querys in a heavily Content driven module and you can also have different blocks in every single module, any column, any weight and each module can also have its own skin so its possible to give each a unique look and there almost all template based to as well as an extensive set of permissions and options across the modules and usergroups. There's also a filestore module due out as an addon and a gallery, a bug-tracker and the very popular classifieds. The Computer encyclopedia is to be made available for those with no Content in the Encyclopedia of their own which is over 500KB alone. Well worth the $20 premium membership.

If your just 'dropping' unconverted nuke modules in place, they would be using whatever number of querys the module is coded with and some of them go into the hundreds on a single page. How do you propose to keep the query count down then, if your not changing the phpnuke core code ?
