vBulletin 2.3.0 versus the latest

[simsim]

What has it got to do with you what they run? I am quite sure that if they run a website that they are more than capable of making a rational decision as to what software they run on it and what they dont.

Many people on this forum had been running phpBB & other software for a long time before knowing about vBulletin. I'm quite sure many of them too had made the decision to switch to vBulletin after someone has introduced it to them! Maybe some would had been even happier if they told about vBulletin earlier than when they did know about!
