Well...I had to go without food and warmth for a week to afford the suite before the pre-sale ended. Now it comes around that I never had to.

[Nick]

Well, you still got a better deal than those who are taking advantage of the extension. So look at the bright side.

I'm only kidding about the food and warmth part, my community puckered up and donated the full amount towards the suite.

It's a good move on IB's part, with all the complaints and what not.

I agree. It is said they aren't listening to customers, maybe in some areas that's a fair accusation.

However, many customers requested the sale be extended, and so now it has been.

Perhaps it was always planned this way, who knows? Doesn't matter, the outcome is a good one.

I already bought mine under the previous sale so I'm ok.

For a company centered around communicating, vbulletin team sure does a poor job of it at times.

Mark,

I wouldn't say lied but more like drastically mis-informed about the workings of the company they represent at times...?

No, there is no plan to extend the pre-sale. We are working on getting CMS up and running on vb.com as quickly as possible. We are hopeful, but I can't promise that it will be running here before the pre-sale ends.

Ok. I see posts are being deleted here. Well, can somebody from the staff confirm the outside announcement? We as paying customers surely deserve it, right?

Mark,

I wouldn't say lied but more like drastically mis-informed about the workings of the company they represent at times...?

Whoops, my post went because the one it was replying to has been removed....and now it looks like *I* had accused the company of lying....

Just to clarify for anyone reading, someone else said they had lied and I challenged that person to point out where.

[Nick]

I tried to reply as well, but see the posts being deleted. Oh well.

I see why members requested for a modification that see real time posting, as I would of seen Rays and now yours...

It is also a price increase, so why would that be an extension.... It is not even the same deal..
