    Is anyone realizing that loading vbseo admin cp is taking a while? So much lag.

    The website is currently down btw, no server found.

    I hadn't but it did take a few seconds for me when I tried just now. I presume that's because it has to wait for the callback to vbseo.com to time out and then reverts to the fallback mode.

    So what is the current status of VBSEO. Are they still taking new customers?

    No. They haven't been selling any new licenses for some time now.

    And since the site seems to have progressed from intermittent outages to an ongoing outage, I don't see how anyone could even attempt a purchase.

    With actions like suspendng vbSEO operations, vBulletin seems to be claiming that XenForo is winning them the battle.

    And more and more webmasters switching to XenForo seem to confirming it!

    1. vBulletin never owned vBSEO and therefore could not have suspended "vBSEO operations".

    2. Xenforo is not the only alternative to vBulletin.

    Hit vBSEO just randomly today for the first time since this thread was started. Was a bit surprised to see it dead. We stopped using it 3 days ago when we migrated to Xenforo.
    Gotta say that my experience with vbSEO and the support I got when it occasionally hiccuped (always after an upgrade of some sort) was excellent.
    When you consider that over 45% of vB owners are still on v3, (source) the loss of vBSEO is likely to be/have been a significant influence on vB3 admins to migrate, whether that's to v4, IPB, XF or one of the alternatives.

    Are you [****][****][****][****]ing serious dude? Can you be any bigger of a creep?

    There are entire sites out there dedicated to that shit. I'd expect something a little more professional from a "support staff" person here.

    Read back in the thread. Her husband is the one who said we should ask for Halloween pics. Also, you are one of those guys who never talk to women huh? Women like to get compliments, you should try it some time. Plus, not really hurting anyone to ask.. Just sayin.. I see a pretty woman, I tell her she is pretty and talk to her. Does not matter who it is or where I am at. I like women. Oh, yes I was being serious with what I said. Though, I will say that it saddens me how everyone in the world has become so (insert word). The global mentality of the world is pretty sad IMO

    @Cerberus Funny how he went off with a vulgar rank to your asking to see her fully clothed in a Halloween costume yet he said nothing about others asking to see her scantly clad in a bikini. Just sayin' and the owner of the forum wanting to do some viewing for research purposes.

    Here ya go dude

    Seeing as how both Ilia & Joe have experience with online marketing, I would think that a staff member of an "admin" site would be more interested in asking them to share that with the community.

    FYI, signal500 is not a guy.

    That was insulting, obnoxious, and totally uncalled for. Not a shining moment for you or this forum.

    Hmm, I guess that makes more sense. Still, seems off that would be bothersome. In my life, the only time I ever got slapped was because I told one woman she was beautiful and not the other one she was with LOL And the other one smacked me. She was like WTF I am standing right here.. Meh but if that is the case..

    @signal500 I apologize as I had no idea you were a woman. I was on mobile when I responded and did not notice your avatar. Though, even with you being a woman I fail to see why that offended you unless its similar to what I posted above. Then, of course you are beautiful too :D

    I would think most people here have the same experience. And Joe does from time to time share his wisdom and knowledge with people even though a lot of people show him distain. Though, in reality this thread derailed long ago and it is pretty much just people making light of the situation
