Hey Gang,
We've been running vb4 for a long time. Recently we switched over to bbPress and tried running the forums there - we liked the stripped down, clean look but ultimately, the features just weren't there. The heart and soul of our community is the forums, so we want to revert back to vBulletin.
I'm considering paying the upgrade to vBulletin 5. We don't really need Social Groups nor do we really need individual user blogs. So other than that, please chime in and tell me what the big differences are. Give me your best sales pitch -- what new features and enhancements in VB5 make it worth me to spend a few hundred bucks on the upgrade?
Also: it seems that vb5 has been out a while already, but hasn't been developed. Specifically, the promised, awaited "CMS" hasn't materialized. Is vb5 development dead in the water?
I need to make a decision ASAP - so please respond.
