Interview with IB Adrian @ ForumPromotion.net

IB Adrian said:
Will vBulletin 5 be a complete rewrite? When can we expect to see it?
vB5 will not be a “complete rewrite” per se, a significant portion of the code will be refactored

Maybe IB has learned from some of their mistakes... and realize they have no choice but to interact with customers

I think the recent uproar has been a bit unnerving for them possibly, first with the acquisition posting , then the xF issue. There has been a slightly different tone over the past two days from Adrian and folks. The posting regarding the release of 4.08 is a sign of that I think. I have to continue to run my site with vb4 for now as that is where the SBox hack is as well as a few others. The new xenForo site is taking shape nicely and I enjoy the feel better than vb. As a matter of fact, the more I do with xF, the clumsier vB feels.

Jonathan said:
The plan is to make vB5 something completely different, so it should be discussed

I do not dispute that Jonathan and don't mean it to sound harsh. If vB4 were in better shape, it would be an expected conversation but quite honestly, the issues that we as vB4 owners have gone through as well as what we still face makes it a bit hard to take. If IB were at level 4.2 or 4.3 and things were moving along nicely, then a rewrite discussion would be much more palpable.
