Worth less than the price raise? Haha.
yep i for 1 wont be upgrading to 5 ill just stay on 4.2
Or maybe get MyBB 
.. hint hint .. cough cough lol.
i upgraded to vb4 from mybb lol
**downgraded
What can vB4 do that MyBB can't that justifies the price?
its just a better more reliable product and there
s features built in as standard like paid subscriptions ect. ive not hat a single prob with vb4.2 unlike the mybb that along is worth the money
Normally the vast amount of features built in is seen as a negative. Quite interested to know what issues you had with MyBB though.
I don't think a paid subscriptions core feature is worth over $200 lmao.
Only experienced forum software users tend to find all the extra features negative (Though there are some that don't). I can still remember talking with online friends about how many awesome extra features vBulletin had before I learned how to only use what I need (MyBB + plugins).
I don't really know. MyBB with an awesome theme can throw sparks, no homo.
I really like the XEN notifications system but hate the forum UI. I love MyBBs forum UI.

After cutting out your ambiguous "etc" and complaints that 99% of forummasters will disagree with, you spent $200 for integrated paid subscriptions. Congratulations.
2000 features is just 2000 more things for me to learn. No thanks. Less can be more.
I'll compare MyBB to In-N-Out menu:

And Vbulletin is like McDonalds. Ignorant fat people without a clue for what's healthy for them just loving the fried crap.
I set up a
VB3 forum with no previous experience, and it was easy as pie. There were a lot of features in the control panel, but no big deal. I was happy to have them all. I'm no longer an admin there (but still on staff). They decided not to upgrade to VB4. Maybe because I kept telling them about all the broken features in the early release. But I know admins who upgraded more than a year after it came out, and some of them are thrilled with it. Others not.
As for VB 5, I think it's too early to tell. But I'm not feeling real positive about its future.

Gotta' love In-N-Out classic dining foods.
The new vB 5 seems to load slow in my end too, roughly 4 seconds I'd say.
Out of the big commercial packages, I'd really only consider IP.Board. I just like the UI more than vBulletin's, plus it loads faster. XD
