      one thing gets me is everyone expected the pricing to stay the same for 4.0 even though they already changed the pricing scheme when 3.7 or 3.8 came out. it always amases me when people gripe knowing nothing stays the same forever.

      all the people saying ray said 5.0 will be out in 18 - 24 months do NOT realise this is just a GUESS and as a reality is not likely. a major realease could just be 4.1 4.5 4.8 etc for all we know. we would have to ask ray directley to know for sure though.

        What is version 5? As others have stated, it's a number assigned to what a company will call a major upgrade.What that consists of is solely within the company's decision making capacity, whether or not you think version 5 should be version 4.2 or version 6.
        Slinky, you are cool

        I like your to the point, on the money, posts.

          Its not a guess, they said in there calculations it will be out in little more then 2 years -- 27 months somewhere near there....

            vBulletin 5 is the "rollup" release and conclusion of the vB4.0, vB4.1, vB4.2, vB4.3, vB4.4, etc. rewrite process. And it will cost $195 or $285.

            Ray Morgan said they intend to be "knocking on the door" of vB5 within 18 months from the release of vB4. This was posted 6 months ago. So 12 months from now.

            These are real quotes folks.

              I'm pretty sure he meant 18 months from the vB4 Gold release.

                Exactly, and even then we might not have 5.0. Because its like asking us right now who the 110th president will be, no one knows right now when 5.0 will in "all reality" release. And furthermore this community likes to hold old quotes and just ETA's over the vB teams head, so lets say in 18 months 5.0 isnt released yet, then you guys will be all complaining about how Ray said this and that back on this such and such day. So how about we not worry about 5.0 right now because 4.0 isnt even here yet..sheesh this community its all about rushing everything, jesus..give it a rest will ya?

                  We didn't rush it....vB did!
                  Most would have been more than happy to wait and not have this new licensing and the release of 4.0 shoved down our throats.

                    I understand, not everyone was wanting vB 4 right now and trying to rush the vB team but alot of them were.

                      Didn't shove it down my throat. And not yours either. You can wait until the gold release and the end of life for 3.8. Which I'm pretty sure should be at least 5 months until the end of life. And then you can still run it, but without anymore sercurity or support. There are those still running 2.0.

                        Well, I guess it's like that old saying goes; "Be careful what you pray for as you just might get it!"
                        Personally, I could have waited until it was done in a more appropriate way.

                          Your right as I should have left the 4.0 out and just left my statement as in regards to the licensing only.

                              That is a difference. But you don't have to pay for annual renewals for upgrades. Most of the time my license would expired until I was ready to add new options that came with latest upgrades. Now I won't have to worry about it until they go to 5.0. myself i believe it really only hurts the leased license and those who paid for blog and project tools. Or those who not having the cash for the presale. Otherwise you're saving cash in the long run.
