From a usage standpoint, I'm rather fond of vBulletin; the use of subscribed threads is far superior to the "egosearch" used in other software. vbulletin 3 was great, then once 4 came out, it was crap... that was because they were no longer made by the original creators, so it now was designed by …

the logic behind "old works fine" is somewhat flawed... think about cars for a moment... new cars have higher horsepower, clearer emissions, about the same or better gas mileage as 20 year old cars (because cars got heavier), SAFER, more comfortable, handles better, stops better, etc yes, the old …

It's all a scam to keep companies like Microsoft and Intel in business. They COULD extend the life of any OS by releasing updates. What did XP do that win98 did not?
