vBulletin 6

[OldSchoolDSL]

What are your thought about vBulletin 6? What do you think it should include?

[blind-eddie]

It should include Vbulletin 3.8.8 functionality and ease of editing and creating addons and styles.

VB6?
Hopefully they concentrate on getting VB5.2 right first.

I wouldn't count on it. From what I've seen even in the other brands new releases, forum software is more like a social networking site. Some are more limited on functionality than vb5.

Developing vb5 is as useful as developing Windows 8. If something is that broken then its time to start over from scratch. But obviously that's not going to happen.

Windows 8 has a significant amount of under the hood improvements on both the server and OS level. Sadly people blew the start screen significantly out of proportion and well it ruined a great OS.

vBulletin 5 has some really great concepts, sadly they didn't execute as well as they should have and missing the ability to inject php in some way where you need it is a huge hindrance. I did my best to push addon stuff forward. But I'm not involved in that anymore.

I see you are no longer part of vb support here why

I kept (and keep) trying to get his up the priority list, Kevin did the same before he left, sadly its still not much closer to being done, which is why in 2+ years we have just 57 modification releases. I fear that by the time a hook system is implemented, there will be no one left interested in using said system.

If he said on .com site I never go over there

Wait... Kevin left? When did that happen?

I've been sticking with vbulletin but I'm now seriously looking for alternatives.

They should hurry up and make an announcement / release it / something ... vb5 is a total disaster - no one wants it.
