Does anyone think that forums will be supplanted by a future medium?
Forums are already no where near as active and popular as they were 5 years ago. I don't know that forums are even necessary on most of my site ideas anymore.
I used to want to buy vB license after vB license. Now I have two owned licenses that are gathering dust right now.
IMO, if Jelsoft doesn't do something about their mindset (making vB myspace), and stop adding all these pointless features, I don't see sales being as good as they have been in the past. But you know, what do I know? I don't see the numbers.

With 3.7 it seems that Jelsoft has run out of ideas and features to better the forum, and instead have thrown in an attempt to make a myspace social networking clone. What they NEED to focus on is making vB css friendly. PHPBB's theme is light years ahead of vB right now, and that is something I would have never thought I'd be saying now.
But anyways, back on topic: Don't ever be surprised if anything on the web gets replaced. The internet is a very young technology, and things come and go all the time.
