For me to do the right thing here.
For the record I do NOT hate vB at all folks. I think vB3 is a great product and vB4 needs lots of work. I will not re hash the issues here that is NOT the intent on this thread and post.
I do have some issues with the support staff here I will NOT get into those eather.
I have been with vB since 2004 i loved vb 2 and vb3 even more so it was a major let down to see vB4 come out the way it did.
I have to say and admit here i do see improvment. IMHO it could be going faster but at least there is improvment and i applaud the devs. for this.
Yes i have IP products listed in my sig however i did remove the IPB website link from my sig. I only keep the products i use listed.
At first i did it to tick off the vB team. now i have them still listed but for other reasons I like the products i am useing and am proud to have them on my site.
I hope that some day vB will go back to being top dog once again (at least in my eyes).
I have the upmost respect for the members here and the current customers. Infact i am a bit jelous because they had the courage to stick with vB through this rough time and i did NOT.
To the support staff to who i have been critical of as of late. While i did not like some of your replies to customers and i think you could put more time in presales forums here i applaud you all the same for putting up with myself and others here who have been negative.
the reason (though not a valid excuse) i have been so vocial against vB/IB is i remember the good old Jelsoft days the days of vb 2 and vb 3. and how smooth the software ran and how much the support staff appeared to love their jobs here. now vb4 came out IB bought out jelsoft and everything changed at least in the beggining for the worse. now i see change and this time for the most part for the better.
i was and still am frustrated to see a software i love turn out the way vb 4 has and that is no excuse for my recent postings.
one little nitpick i have is with the VAT issue it just seams you could SLIGHTLEY lower the cost of vB so thos paying the VAT don't have to pay too much more than the other countries that have no VAT. that and a LITTLE more warning would have been nice. if you found out last minuite about this then disregaurd the last sentence please.

now no more tirades from me against vB in ANY forums if i have a complaint i will keep it under controll and not go wild. nothing worse from me than what i posted about the VAT here.
I just want to apologise publicley here for my recent behavior to one and all from the CEO of IB to the vB devs and forum and other mods and the past, current and future customers here.
about my sig i am open to suggestions to changes. i would like to keep the ipb products i use here however, if too many people here think it is over the top I will change it.
how would just leaving it as Powered by IPB ( i am willing to make the font for that smaller much smaller) and drop the list of products be? is that fair to you or not?
A word of caution to people who want to just post negativley here (sorry for breaking a rule here vb team) My posting privlidges were curtailed here and for good reason i was being a total butt hole. FOR THAT ALL I CAN SAY IS I AM SORRY
the only reason i mention this is to warn others not to make the same mistake i made.
If i regain full access to the boards here i will behave myself. i have been trying to behave as of late. I can only hope to regain my posting ability and if not well i will be ok with that I got what i deserved. I thank the staff for not baning me on the spot. i think what you did was more than fair.
If i can do something to make it up to you just let me know please.
i just hope in time everyone can forgive me
Seeing as i was a (fill in the blank) on the forums in public the least i could do is apoligise(sp) in public.
