I disagree with that. Either it says something about the vBulletin product or it says something about the staff behind vBulletin and its sistersites. What's a wonder is that people continually justify the use of vB 3.6.x on vB.org because it'll be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much work to upgrade all the custom mods blablabla ==> Poppycock!

vB.org is a community of coders, designers and vB enthusiasts. The upgrade to vB 4.x would not be such a HUGE job in my assessment no matter the amount of customization that has gone into it creation... BUT it would be a foolish decision if you only take into consideration the amount of bug fixes that have come out since the gold debacle.

An "official" software site (and all sistersites) should be running the latest, greatest version of their own product. This seems a no-brainer to me.

But then again - I imagine the vB.org staff is mostly a volunteer one... But we're not talking about a mickeymouse organization - we're talking about a million dollar business. Surely if vB 4.x series was stable enough - vB.org would have been upgraded when it landed on the scene. It would be a way to BOAST that vBulletin is the best software. Period.

As it seems though = noone's boasting.

That's my opinion anyway :P

In the near future and never hopefully.

I don't want my beloved vb.org to look like butt ugly vB4.

lol - okay...
It'd be interesting to know what's going on behind the scenes I guess. Then would be able to formulate a more accurate opinion lol - but seriously - I'm quite glad that vB.org is running the 3.x series - I honestly am not much a fan of the 4.x

That's all that's relevant really. It doesn't look good for vBulletin when their sister website doesn't want to upgrade to the latest vBulletin software.

Customer: Hi, I'm thinking about purchasing vBulletin, but you don't seem to be running it yourself? How come?

vBulletin.org: We don't like vB4, we don't want to because we can't be bothered.... or any other reason that will now dissuade a customer from buying.

I think that makes my point nicely (thank you).

vbulletin.org doesnt sell vbulletin.

Your trolling is becoming tiresome now (third thread). Id advise against keeping it up.

This thread has no useful purpose, its been done to death in a few others. Closed.
