I love the product and the add ons that it provides on vBulletin.org. I absolutely can’t stand the development pace. MyBB recently made an announcement that MyBB will be losing PHP4 and going with PHP 5.2 as a minimum requirement. They also will be suggesting users use MySQL 5.1 once it becomes the stable recommended release. MyBB is looking more and more like a legitimate competitor to vBulletin with every new release they put out. I’m actually considering using it for a new board I am considering starting. Especially once the new release comes out removing all the support for PHP 4.

Come on vBulletin. I’m paying you 160 dollars for the license and 30 bucks to renew for what? One new release every year and a half? Not cool at all.

I’m not denying that vBulletin 4 will be a great product, it’s just the development time for vBulletin has gotten worse and worse over the years it seems.
