Has VBulletin lost its edge?

[PrincessFiona]

Well, I disagree Frosty. Our board does provide a wealth of information on a specific topic but it has also been a place where (long before FB) people hung out to become friends and share about their lives. VBulletin wants a piece of this or there wouldn't be the groups and the blogs etc.

We were around LONG before FB and I don't want to be FB ... but I also think that forums need to have the ability to step up into the next stage of development with the other social networking forums or they will be gobbled up by FB.

What I almost hear you saying is that vBulletin isn't a place for social networking anymore ... just a place to get info on certain topics.

Our accounts have always been personal accounts....long before there was phpBB ... long before there was vBulletin. The website was a personal place of coming together, sharing and the development of friendships.

I want to maintain that with functionality that keeps things running as easily as they do on FB so people don't turn to FB for the social aspect now.

Maybe I've just been around the internet a lot longer than y'all and I've watched the changes.
