Cptzeromaniac 0 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 We upgraded from vb4 to vb5 stupidest thing ever Only bugs bugs bugs. Our database got corrupted! Our plugins the newer ones never worked correctly. Also the whole registration got messed up! So no more vb for me. In the past it was a great forum but now! you can get way better software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David4 0 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 My opinion is, their downhill spiral occured when the legal entity was purchased by a new majority stakeholder (aka internet brands). The said company, SOP seems to be purchase and buy out any and small internet brands and flip them for a profit if possible; doesnt seem to be working for them hence vB. Just an an opinion...

minijackc 0 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Because IPB is now the future, VBulletin took too long to update from v 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP VBulletin. A forum I used to use was bought out by them, and it completely stagnated afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babymetal 5 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 vB was good (almost great) back in the 3.8.x era, the 4.2.x version where fine but it went downhill, fast, after that. Selling it to someone who clearly doesn't have a clue about forum software was not good, but at least we got XF now which I run on a few sites.

FaithMan 17 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) I still remember good old VB 3.x version ... some good memories. They just got greedy and payed the price. IPS, imo, wanted to copy/paste their greed, some new pricing during 2010-2015 period was introduced comparing vB as model and with theirs forum shills they did vB comparison defending IPS, but at the end IPS had better product and managed to survive and get to the top, althou XF is no1 atm from what I was reading last and this year. Btw is vB 3.x version still active at all ? You still need to pay for 3.x version ? Edited November 11, 2018 by FaithMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fibbles 0 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Most forum software is struggling nowadays as its much easier and less hassle to set up a facebook group :(, they still have their uses though. vBulletin in my opinion is too much bloat and runs really slow on my servers, I have fairly decent spec servers too.

Krinkel 0 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 i think generally the forums is fail with social media rise, it is not about vb or other, many of forums and blogs fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayubro 0 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Well i tried to install it on my local machine and found out that it's not that easy as installing other forum software. It had many advanced user configs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptilly 0 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Themes for it are not even close to the themes we see with XenForo and IPB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantiom 0 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I'm 100% with @Jeffrey , vBulletin had too many security exploits on every severity level, much more than its competitors, XenForo and MyBB for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KomodoByte 6 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Outside of being unsecure, it was just disadvantageous to use in general with so many flaws in various areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giangy 1 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 In my opinion, because it costs too much and the support makes water on all sides ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
