Because you love interviews, and (imo) ignore many questions in other threads, here are now my questions...... (Just ignore the pseudointerview in the other thread, it was just a joke )

Questions from Floris:
For the ambiance: We're sitting in an cocktailbar at the beach
- What went wrong with 4.0.4?? Why there was no 4.0.4.1 after you realiced that 4.0.4 forum (not suite!) was not working? There is just a thread with file edits were customers have to do it themself...
I really thought that vbs learned from the blame of 4.0.0 and the first version of vb3.8.x under development of IB.
Everybody said, this were "beginner problems", now a half year later this can't be a excuse anymore! - Are there any news about the new "add-ons" ??? If you check some threads, you'll see that the customers are "scared" because they don't know what's now happening / if they have to pay extra for "in-house vB4 add-ons"
- If you check the blog from invisionpower, are you getting scared?
I would be, if i would see that they have a working modern "framework" and they can now build many great new add-ons for it... - What's with the refactoring of the "old" forum code? Will this ever happen?
- What's with the new and better suggestion / communication system?
Also you wrote that my idea with the change history is nice and you like it, are there any plans?:
IMO We still have no two way communication!
Questions from Floris:
Here are my questions, from Floris and the team at http://vbfans.com
1 - You are now a known figure in the vBulletin.com community by now, but how did you end up there, and how is the progress of learning and understanding vBulletin and it's customer (base) community?
2 - Since your arrival, quite a bit of customer feedback has been processed, and in my opinion, some for the positive, what's the current thing you're fighting for to get addressed?
3 - Are you also working on any other projects besides IB's product vBulletin? (And if so, which?)
4 - Do you run any vBulletin powered communities yourself, and if so, are they running vBulletin 4.0? If not, what's the reason for not upgrading if you don't mind me asking?
5 - What are (some of) your favorite web sites that you visit daily?
6 - What is your favorite part of your job with InternetBrands?
7 - Who is the current business manager and/or project manager with vBulletin Solutions Inc?
8 - How has vBulletin.com changed in recent months, and what's next?
9 - How have online Communities evolved? Are they important? And how do you think online Communities will evolve over the next 5 - 10 years?
10 - How has acquiring the vBulletin product affected the 100+ communities (subsidiaries) run by InternetBrands.com?
11 - And with vBulletin 4.1 coming closer and closer, I can't resist but ask: Got any inside info? Any news we don't know yet about this new product that's in development?
12 - Anything else you wish to share?
Thank you for giving us some of your time.
Looking forward to your answers, and this interview being published in the announcement forum with the rest.
