Will I have to buy vB4 now? Even though I have a currently active license witch entitles me for free vB updates for 1 year?
Why does everyone keep saying "FREE"? It is not free udates for a year, it is a PAID subscription you have purchased for product updates for a year.

Is it just me or did vbulletin.org pull the announcement from the home page? To me, that was a pretty major announcement and people that have a paid license to even participate on this website should have the right to see that. Not have it hidden so people can't see the real vbulletin.com direction. Why is vbulletin.com and vbulletin.org trying to hide this announcement? The only thing that isn't for sure at this point is price, Ray morgan's decision has already been made at this point, you can buy vbulletin forums software, and a vbulletin suite (blogs, project tools, cms). Things are about to change quickly for many of us and it should have been left as an official announcement on the main home page. I realize that i don't pay for membership for vbulletin.org, but in order for me to participate here, i have to have proof that i am a licensed owner of vbulletin.com forum software.

And you are right gamerfu, it isn't free updates, we pay for the updates. Nothing is free with vbulletin.com. Only stuff that is free are mods from the great coders of this site. They are willing to share some of their hard work with us, so that many of us can have a very functional vbulletin forum.

Other members should seriously take the time and read the announcement over at vbulletin.com. I would put a link to the address but i am sure that paul will delete it, so that people can't start voicing their opinions to the new company that owns vbulletin.com.

The announcements on the front page are pulled from the News and Announcements forum. The announcement from Ray about vb and the suite are in the Official vB.com Announcements forum which doesn't get posted on the front page.

What? Didn't you see it on the front page? That is how i found the announcement. It had rays (vbulletin.com) announcement, a link to the announcement on vbulletin.com.....as well a a link to this post. I mean no disrespect, but that announcement was on the home page, and was there as an official announcement. I would put money on it that it was removed to help silence the anger towards the announcement.

Now it is gone and members will not know that vbulletin.com is about to take them to the bank. The link should still be shared for all to see.

Yes, I saw it on the front page. Marco made a post a couple days ago about a problem with the rss feed and how things got out of order - that is when it got moved off the front page. I'm not gonna search out that post on dial-up.

If people want to read vb.com news, then they best place to get it is at vb.com. I'm pretty sure they don't come to vb.org just to get vb.com news.

It's all good, i deleted my blog system and all of the mod's i had installed with it. Sadly, i just found out i can't sell it, so i have to eat the $50.00 bucks i spent to purchase it. Hopefully though, the new vbulletin4.0 will be worth the wait and the extra money they are going to start charging us for it. Maybe a bunch of ajax options, that would be awesome.

The vB.org frontpage should show news and announcements of vBulletin.org.

Announcements from vB.com are duplicated into this forum, but vB.com is the place that publish them and it is their task to bring news under the attention of their customers. Filling our frontpage with the news of "another site" only pushes the vB.org announcements away from ou own frontpage.

Members can still read them, either in this forum or on vB.com.

What? 90% of the news that crosses the front page of vbulletin.org is from vbulletin.com. How do you think i always find out about the newest vbulletin software? Allot of times i see it here before i recieve it via email.
