      Why? It's a joke - which I'm sure they will get the reasoning behind it!

            This is probably exactly why the developers don't like giving estimates for releases. Once they do, if it doesn't happen, you have stuff like this.

            I have NO idea what's going on with it's development, but it seems to me that due to the add-ons to vBulletin and the social aspects being added, the "soon" plan seemed to be something that didn't happen. Whether it was delayed for that or another reason, let's hope it's an improvement worth the wait.

                  Then we'll ask, which part? Part I, II, III, or IV?

                        To not have any technical future outlook for your community really isn't very fun. I'd be satisfied to know it's released "probably within 6 months" if I just knew what features there were to expect. Right now I'm not really sure what hacks and plugins I should use for community features, since it very much depends on what features you will deliver in the near future.

                        To be honest I'm very happy with the software (am a new customer since a few weeks) but I'm also very discouraged by the lack of information about coming features, which is an important part of my future planning.

                        I've bought all you products (vB, blog, project) and I would gladly pay you twice as much for the products if you could be more open about what features and surprises we are to expect around the corner.

                          OK, he was the pun to the joke!

                          Ever since is was annouced that vB3.7 was in the works. There have been that many posts asking when. That I thought the staff must sometimes think "how many times does the same question have to be asked over and over". And the comic was showing Kier getting that fed up with being asked the same question that many times - "Well the picture says the rest".

                            There are rumours that the people who asked for the release date.. stopped posting.

                              Here's part of a conversation that suggests it will be out before the year is out:
