vBulletin 6 has arrived, what do you think about it?

Technically, vBulletin.org is an independent site.

Rather Internet Brands' neglected/abandoned site.

Technically, vBulletin.org is an independent site.

It's a vbulletin market site where the official addons, styles, graphics, etc are sold.

Well the codebase is ancient, vBulletin 6 still relies on procedural programming

Yes, I know. But the actual site in of itself is not owned or maintained by Internet Brands (or whoever creates vB these days). So they don't have control over what version of the software they are using. Thus it's an independent site.

wrong

vb.org may a separate entity but Wayne from vBulletin shut it down.

It was actually a repository for third party add-ons and styles plus an area for peer to peer support. I don't recall anything official ever being made available there and most if not all of what was available to download was free to use including many of the add-ons I wrote.

That's incorrect, the site was never independent. The site was always owned by vBulletin which was subsequently sold to the current owners, Internet Brands.

I highly doubt he was the decision maker, but he did deliver the news of its sad demise.

I haven’t changed my profile picture for around 10 years, and it’s still relevant for vB6

Vbulletin 6? Looks like Vbulletin 5 to me with minor changes.

It is but there is more added to it.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it probably is a duck. Or in this case, a dead duck.

Their cloud is more expensive than what xf's cloud is.
I renewed over there and i looked at my credit card and it took $562 out for a renewal...
What the heck?

vBulletin 6 has arrived, what do you think about it?

The website vbulletin.org is closing down. https://vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=329671
Any other thoughts on this?
Without a community and plugins, a bare script is of little use to many.

$562? OMG. I pay so much per year for a dedicated server at Hetzner.

Yeah it's rather expensive.

 

[James]

That 562 is obviously an annual sum.

Most probably it is.
Silver: $29.99 * 12= $359.88= AU$562 (depends on the exchange rate in the time of purchase)

Can you explain this more ?

If vB6 is procedural programming, what is xenforo ?
