How would vb 3.7, 3.8 or even 4.0 make the addons or posts more enjoyable ?
So how is it a pain exactly ? Its pretty much a standard vb site as far as browsing goes, no different to thousands of others.
The search is no different in vb 3.7 or 3.8, so upgrading to them would make zero difference. The search in 4.0 is different, but Im not convinced it would make much difference to your example, as its still mysql fulltext based.
That's why I mentioned vBulletin 4, since I hear it's serching is more reliable. Now, just something I heard, since as I mentioned before (I think on vBulletin.com), the vBulletin (and Invision Power Board) search features are not particularly reliable, are pretty server intensive, and don't bring most of the results any more normal search engine would bring.

With vBulletin 3.7 & 3.8 there where no strong enough reasons for us to make the move.
With vBulletin 4.0, some major improvements with that version and the 3.6 version becoming end of life, the situation has changed. We are already designing and planning a new version of vBulletin.org using vBulletin version 4.0 for some time now. The real work on this will start once vBulletin 4.0 is stable. This will involve work done by the vBulletin.org volunteer staff but also resources from IB that will only come available once vBulletin 4.0 is stable.
That is awesome. And I'm glad Internet Brands is helping in a more visible way.
