So we're going to simply copy the quickest and easiest way to generate revenue in the history of the universe, which is do it the Star Citizen way!

XF 37.0
vB: 36.5
Gap closed in a hurry.
It's been 6 or so years, not sure if that was a hurry.
The gap is widening: 36.98% (XF) vs. 36.11% (Brand X)
Six years to get on top of the heap is not so bad. Remember that in the earlier years they were competing largely against their own prior product and with a very lean XF.
Agreed--that is where we were at. We were "stuck" on vB 3.7 before converting to XF, mainly due to all of the modifications I had to make in order to combat the resource usage. And I remember from a couple of the old "big board" threads that a lot of us hung around in that I wasn't the only one who had to do this. It's true we could have thrown more hardware at the problem, but that is not the correct answer. Upgrading to vB 4.anything would have just sapped our resources even more. XF came along at the right time for us. We've had a few hiccups but overall, it has been smooth sailing. We haven't had to upgrade hardware in a while and, given our current resource usage, it will be some time before we need to do that.Note that a 3rd of VB sites (so a tenth of all forums) are still on VB3 and you see that there's a long way down for VB to go still once they need to migrate to something new/secure.
We don't want to migrate twice
