I held off on upgrading from 3.x to 4.x because i felt like i got screwed by timing when 4.x came out and the step upgrade fees. Finally i convinced my community it was time to upgrade to 4.x and raised funds in May for an upgrade. Now vB 5 is coming and once again i get screwed on the upgrade timing. I just bought vB in May and you want me to upgrade again!? vBulletin needs to rethink their upgrade pricing strategy as they are driving customers away.
Upgrade cost... seriously? I just purchased vB 4.x in May!

Maybe you will find some solace in the fact, that vB 5 won't be ready for a live site for quite some time. Also buying vB 4 isn't a bad investment either, so yeah, misfortune in a way, but you can just wait some time and decide later, if you actually need vB 5.Comment

At the moment...you're no worse off. vB5's still in beta and some way off being finished and production ready.
Also vB4 has not been abandoned, at the moment the development focus is on getting vB5 finished however the plan is to do more work on vB4 yet. 4.2.1 is a maintenance release that is practically finished, just waiting on the mobile team. And then a 4.3 is planned with some new features.MARK.B
