    I still see people not happy with them, so I am judging by that.

    If vB3 were free? Maybe. I'd definitely choose it over MyBB. (But MyBB has a nicer admin panel...)

    vB4? Never.

    vB3? Goes without saying.

    vB4? Maybe.

    But MyBB has a high quality software and its free. It doesn't compete with vB3, but still nice.

    I agree, MyBB is very well crafted.

    No, I wouldn't do it too. The problem with vBulletin 4 is, whatever you are trying to do, you are always getting a layout that shouts "VBULLETIN 4!" :P But if vbulletin 3 was free, I might considered it, but as second option. MyBB is the best in my opinion :)

    Indeed, XenForo is cool :) They are having a quick development. :)

    Something that smf should look at, took them 12 months to get to a stable release.

    I wouldn't use VBulletin if I was paid 1,000 dollars, given a new Lamborghini, and an all expense paid trip to Hawaii.

    If you should so happen to purchase Vb 4 you can download and install Vb3 you do not have to use Vb4. I quite frankly prefer Vb 3 over Vb 4 and since I have a license most of the time I will choose 3 over 4. Vb3 is updated constantly and is just as viable as Vb4. If some here have not used Vb4 and are only speaking from a member standpoint then you are assuming things you know nothing about.

    I have had a vB4 license which I sold along time ago. And I always prefer vB3 over vB4. I have plans of purchasing a vB3 license soon.

    You will only have the option of Vb4 once you get access to the members area you can download 3.

    Yes I know, but some have vb3 licenses that they want to sell for cheap so I am going to be buying that, and not a vB4 license with the option of vB3 because it is much more expensive.
