Anyone sticking with VB2 ?

[EvilLS1]

I'll most likely be sticking with VB2 for several reasons.. 1) I've just now got comfortable with how VB2 works and writing code for it... 2) I've spent alot of time getting the look and feel of my forum exactly how I want it... and 3) If it ain't broke, why fix it?

I have VB3 running on my PC and it is nice.. But I'm happy with my VB2 so I'm sticking with it.

there are sum bugs in vB2 that cant ever be fixed

writing code for vB2 is meh, im much more confortable with vB3 i learnd on it and from what ive looked at in vb2 vB2 looks and is sorta sloppy. in comparsison.

Why stay with the old?
thats like we have a microwave from 1976 lets keep it instead of buying one that can cook popcorn in under 2 min vs 10 min

its not broke dont fix it its not a good slogan for everything ;D

As of right now there's not any that really concern me. I've manually added all of the security fixes myself, and the other minor bugs don't really bother me. Besides, I'm sure there's plenty of undiscovered VB3 bugs aswell. As long as you use ANY forum software bugs are something that you'll just have to deal with.

'Cause I'm happy with it. The day that I become UNhappy with it is the day I'll upgrade. But like I said, right now VB2 is just fine for me.

Upgraded the live forum today, things went remarkably smoothly(maybe cause I tested it a million times and documented all the changes ) and my users are well pleased. And it's awesome...

I haven't noticed any slowness with the admin cp.

And I think my bandwidth is just fine as well.

But I will not be going back to vB2, purely because I love the vBulletin 3 template system, it's much more organized and I can customize all of my styles simultaneously.

Not to mention how organized the code is, I've noticed that installing hacks is actually easier than installing them on vB2. Don't ask why, it just feels easier, ya know?

anyone who is just starting really shouldnt start with vB2

That's what I was going to say. If you just bought a license, you might as well start with vB3 RC3, it'd be the best route to take. Going back and using vB2 really wouldn't work out well for you in the future, even if you have had some experience using it in the past

I like VB2 for all the skins hacks. I recently loaded VB3 on a local system to mess around with it since my board members don't like downtime even for a better board =/. But VB2 has so many mempires, and even thought VB3 is better and faster it won't replace VB2 it will just make VB2 less on demand and then they will stop.

just becase there are more hacks for vB2 doesnt mean anything

there are alot less needs for hacks in some way for vB3

alot of things are done by default, plus at vBT weve been doing template mods since beta 3
