vBulletin 5 Connect

Was talking to @xxMATTGxx; earlier about the move to vb5 in the future, if it happens that is, we spoke about IPB and i asked if there was any HxF fanboys left, which is @Recursion;

Never the less we forgot to speak about Xenforo which i've grown to love, possibly maybe even it catches up to vBulletin?

Just an example off the top of my head.

I want IPB also. UI makes more sense.

I've always personally preferred IPB over vBulletin. Not sure how either compares to XenForo though, not really had much chance to play around with it.

The latest 3.x which is 3.8 will be supported and they will keep the forums for that. But they do state that it is end of life so don't expect anything for it.

The vBulletin 3.8 forums will remain active for use for the foreseeable future for support purposes. However please note that vBulletin 3.8 is considered end of life. This means that it will not have further bug-fix release or new functionality added and may not have any future security patches. We will evaluate security issues if they are received.

I've never looked into the back end of an IPB forum - Not like Habbox will be switching to it any time soon

All you have to do is read the thread titles and you will see people are not happy about it at all:

I don't see why they have rushed this out in terms of getting people to buy it and a demo that is awful. Unless they are wanting to get the money in before hand.
