I don't think there's much of a demand for "forums" anymore. They seem to be dying out pretty quickly. Communities seem to be driven by far more than just vBulletin now a days. (No, I'm not talking about stupid Myspace)

With the above post, your sites content has a lot to do with continuous traffic to your website.. That goes without saying. However -- I personally think that on top of that, people are getting tired of seeing the same ol' same ol' on every website.

No doubt most everyone here will disagree with me.. but I know one things for sure.. I have no plans of purchasing vB for any of my future website projects. It's weird coming to this point, because I was a huge vB fanboy.. I just see it as becoming outdated. Time to move on.. I guess.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
