I don't. How does it worry you ?Does anyone else find it worrisome that we have a 53 page discussion about VB going on here?

If it reaches the ancient number of 69, the apocalypse will begin as the prophecy foretold.I don't. How does it worry you ?
Can you honestly state that VB5 is a performance, quality product Paul? Don't lie now.Because this site is for a 'rival' product, and of course largely populated by people who (to put it mildly) dislike Internet Brands.
they have a good reason...Because this site is for a 'rival' product, and of course largely populated by people who (to put it mildly) dislike Internet Brands.
Mincing details.
Jelsoft was a small company, and IB must've waved a big wad of money before the eyes of its current owners and promised perfect freedom for creativity and 'letting things be as they were'.
So the merger was completed, and before the ink was dry on the paper, IB was announcing the intentions to outsource VB development to India
This is the very definition of a company taking over, using money as power, and destroying infant creativity with brutish short-sightedness.
I've got an idea how vB works. Their idea of better performance at 60 SQL requests is akin to their belief that 400 bugs during a gold release (Okay I admit I just pulled that number out of thin air, it's been 2 years, give me a break) is so much better than 900 bugs.
Me neither. We're discussing vBulletin's little failures, and big failures.I don't. How does it worry you ?
I do wonder though: vB5 is incomplete in terms of features that are currently in vB4 and are planned to be added later, yes? If vB5 is pulling 60+ queries now, what will happen when 5.1 and later are released?
Me too with the cache enabledI've seen it stated as low as 6-7.
When users will realize they have to pay a server twice as expensive to have their vB5 forums working correctly...Given the amount of investment which has gone into VB5, I expect they will solve the "obvious bugs" over time. Performance, page jumping around, editor quirks e tc. That should work for non tech savvy users but tech admins who understand the underlying design flaws may never touch VB5.
Good luck !vB Roadmap:
- Development time: 1 years and half.
- Bug fixing time: 2 years.
- Time to publish the next release ...
you would rather the list of fixes be shorter?The List of Bugfixes with every new "fixed" release is unbelievable long.
Vb5 doesn't look bad IMO.
Ask any decent coder how the code looks.Vb5 doesn't look bad IMO.
Understandable. Although there is no indication that it will take that long. Probably wouldn't even be possible since I think XF would run out of money sooner than that.To be quite honest I'm losing trust in Xenforo pretty fast. It'll take years to solve this court case, and nothing will be updated until then. In addition many coders and themers have left so even plugin creation is slow. I really like Xen, and this community (im not leaving either way so tough lol) but VB5 might be calling us....at least until KAM figures this out and gets their acts together.
What do you like about it?
Hmm, not quite.until this case is over which could potentially take YEARS.
Hmm, not quite.
It has taken a couple of years already up to this point. On November 5th there is a hearing to decide whether the case should be dismissed. If it isn't dismissed and it goes ahead then in January 2013 a trial date is set.
In theory it could all be over in a few months.
