I say.. Why do you have to update it EVERYTIME they push a new one (which seems like once a week). I say updates should go like this (considering you started with v1).. convert at 2.0.0.. convert at 2.2.5.. convert at 3.0..
Thats if you need to stay on the safe-side... I see this board runs 2.2.6, and I see LOADS of boards that have been arround for ages that are still at 2.1X, etc... and their fine. Vbulletin dosn't generally have BIG mistakes on any releases, they only patch up things that most people don't even notice. For most people it isn't even worth while to convert unless you've got the time, and know-how... I just backup my SQL and files everynight.. I've been hacked 4times.. and the site always came back up as-was the night before |

No, not really... My hacks weren't on the VB, they were the entire site..
[edit] My entire site was hacked, not the VB* |

They could have done it through your vB, you never know.

True, but regardless, it really wouldn't matter what version of vB I'm running, the security issues are never THAT great with VB, which is the reason they sell it for 160dollars.
I recoment updates for people who have the time, and know-how, and for those users who can't afford to EVER be hacked into. Remember, Nothing on the internet is hack-proof, you just have to be careful and take precaution |

^ Very true, you have a good point.
But, I feel very safe just backing up my files.. and I find it (for me) better then updating every month or so. Just look at www.RapMusic.com - they have over 64,000 members, and their still running 2.2.6, I talk with the owner, all he does is back up his SQL, and all his HTML files.. Yes, it is the "smart" decision to update all the time. But for most people it's not the more realistic one.. On to the next subject... Who here thinks that VB is going to runn out of numbers before they finally release 3.0? I say their going to start using letters after they get to "2.9.9" lol. |

A rap music forum running an old version of vB just reinforces the concept that rap is a retarded form of entertainment.

Rap may be a "retarded form of entertainment", but I would gladly be labled a retard if I was getting that much money
