Did Vbulletin lose more than a lawsuit?

    ??? I am really having difficulty understanding you, Carlos. I don't need to follow your footsteps or Shawn's or anyone else's. I'll move when I'm ready to move and I'll move to the platform I choose based on what I need.

    I'm happy you think Xenforo was the best decision for you. That doesn't necessarily make it the best decision for me. That's the beauty of having different options. We each get to choose the best one for ourselves.

    Again: YOUR CHOICE! You didn't have to respond with "I don't need to follow your footsteps or shawn's or anyone else's." I'm not forcing you to do anything. It's just a saying. Cerbrebus said the same thing, but you chose to rebut me just to make the troll even more evident. Good job, man.
    Then get left behind. :) If you switch, and you're saying "I should've switched sooner." My response will be "I told you. But you didn't want to listen." Boohoo. Your fault.

    After this, I'm not going to respond. I don't like people who aren't open-minded in debates or arguments, so they get defensive.

    What? Good god, man. Get a grip. Let it go. I'm happy you're happy, okay? And if it makes you happy to think that by not making the same decision you made I'm being left behind, then so be it.

    This is the single most confusing "conversation" I have ever had on a forum. :wideyed:

    I have let go. In fact, I didn't even expect you to respond, but welp. You did. Telling me to "get a grip" isn't going to help matters. People who say that are trying to be insultive.
    It's only confusing because you chose it to be.

    I also found it funny, that for some people to like your post even though that they disagree with about 50% of the things you say. Now that's funny. :hilarious:

    Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about. Maybe it's a language issue. Whatever.

    Thats not actually true.

    3.8.x has been updated for php 5.4 (3.8.8), and we have discussed what may be needed for php 5.5

    Bottom line... People will migrate between platforms (whatever those may be) when the upside to moving outweighs the effort needed to move. I'm not "pro" XF blindly... I didn't *want* to move... Trust me, I had way better things to work on.

    But for *me* it was the best option. I also looked at IPB as well as building my own from scratch. vB3 and vB4 served us well for many many years. If they turn themselves around and vB6 is something amazing, maybe the effort to migrate back will be worth it for us.

    Oh yeah. vB4 definitely seems to need more resources than vB3. What kind of hosting are you on?

    Not that I can share atm, no.

    So, does that mean there will be news forthcoming? Obviously, I could see how you would not be able to share much about it, but I am sure you are legally allowed to let us know if there ever will be news? Right?

    Its already been stated that php 5.4 is planned for vB4, so yes, when there is more I can tell, I will.

    I'd guess PHP 5.4 compatibility is coming at some point for vB4 if they've done for the older vB 3.8

    You really need to stop always trying to tell people what to do. Just because you think XenForo is the best thing since Jammie Dodgers, doesn't mean everyone should follow your lead, which you tend to try and ram down peoples throats.

    Like they guy with this avatar [​IMG] ?


    I mean i'm a xf fanboy too, i'm also a extrem IB hater because they destroyed vB, but XF is also not the holy grail! It's not the perfect solution for everybody...

    I might be being a little bit pendant but having just noticed the thread title I feel the need to point out that the lawsuit was not (won or) lost by either party as such, there was a settlement and only the parties concerned know the outcome.

    I've never had a problem with you, so @GTB question: Do you want to go down this road? Is that what you want, Gary? Because I don't forget enemies. Those make enemies with me often lose in the end.

    I wasn't telling people what to do. I wasn't saying everyone should follow my lead. You put words into my mouth, you enjoy picking fights when it wasn't there to begin with. Go join @ragtek in your trolling elsewhere. I've had enough of your bull$hit.
    That's me, little troll. I am open minded.
    That means you're stuck in the past with vBulletin. Go troll the forums if you love vBulletin soo much.

    If you hate me so much, @ragtek then ignore my posts - and join the posse of GTB, Paul M, and your little backup buddy djbaxter. They seem to like you so much they'll tap your back. Did that stroke your ego?

    Did you like it?

    No, no. You don't get to look confused. No. You came at me, I came back at you, and you're confused?

    You had the audacity to insult my intelligence, put words into my mouth and think you can get away with it?
