I have been a user of vBulletin for nearly 11 years now and I have run several forums in the past. I must say that it has been the industry-leading forum software for as long as I can remember.
Recently, I bought a new vB5 license and did a fresh install. I thought it looks nice. However, after reading through all the reviews, I must say it is disappointing and scary to envision what future holds to my forum if I stick to VB5.
I must say the most worrisome thing is the SPEED. Even on vBulletin.com, the site is laggy and slow, comparing to IPB & Xenforo. Is there any hope that new patchs in the near future will fix the SPEED issue and all the bugs that others mentioned? I am about to pay a professional designer to customize my forum and I dont' want to invest more on this software if issues are not going to get resolved.
So far, I still think vB5 looks the best and looks most professional (comparing to the other 2 forum softwares) and so if there is still hope, I would like to stick around.
