    vBulletin Pricing Fix Proposal, Please Vote!

    THIS THREAD IS NOT ABOUT THE "PUBLISHING SUITE"! IT IS ABOUT VB3 OWNED FORUM LICENSES AND UPGRADING TO THE "VB4 FORUM LICENSE"!

    Do you think having to pay $195 (full price, as a new license) because your owned license expired is fair, when active owned licenses are FREE to upgrade? That's a huge gap from $0 to $195.

    I would like to see $0 for active owned licenses and $60 for expired owned licenses (compared to $195). What do you think?


    Please see my thread, VB4 SCHEME EXPLAINED! -- vBulletin Customers: Expired Owned/Leased License is USELESS for the easy-to-understand info regarding vBulletin's new prices and policies.

    Yep, that's not fair 100%, there should be something in the middle for people who payed money during last years and now have an expired license (expired means waiting for the new 4.0)

    It's still $130 for active owned licenses to upgrade to vB4.

    As I already stated, THIS THREAD IS NOT REGARDING THE "PUBLISHING SUITE"!

    This thread is referring to the "VB Forum License".

    I'd be up for the first option. The current forum license structure was good enough. Far good enough. No, Internet Brands got greedy and wants cash. They have hundreds, thousands of customers, why would they need to increase Vbulletin price far more than it is now? The last price increase was during the whole IB buyout.

    The structure is insane. Beyond Insane.

    Even the price difference for upgrading from inactive owned license to VB4 Suite is high. If they want money upfront at least 3-4 months (or more) before the product in launched then theu should give people a better offer that $235!

    Voted for "Active $0, Expired $60" in order that this vote can change something.

    I think it's safe to say the 3 people who voted for option 2 are BLIND and thinking of the Publishing Suite (which IF we were talking about the Publishing Suite, $195 would be a deal, but we are not).

    Thanks, applied polls more votes I'm sure the first option provides the Company and changes required to clients are in favor.

    I ask all friends of the polls and vote for company managers who are too proud too be aware that their acts without thinking and Tyyrat customer has rights.

    To all my clients in any way bought Suite Version not shown because the deadline to several days now to 30 October as an excuse for exorbitant fees is that you know that a few percent of new customers will do their shopping.
    After buying all of our company that we should be revised to increase prices.

    We do not do buying and extended

    I just want to give a nice little thank you to vB for teaching me how to NEVER treat my customers. FWIW, a $60 expired renewal would solve their issues. But that's okay. I'm gonna send $150 IPB's way instead. That says a lot more than any vote that vB will simply ignore since they don't care about their customers in the first place.

    20 day license that I finished the panel to extend the mentioned upgrade to version 4 Suite must pay $ 250, which is interesting now to buy a new license version 4 Siute should be paid only 235 dollars. Company rather than respect for the old customers and new customer value by itself. Is very funny.
