are you going to buy the CMS version of vB when it becomes available?

    I bought Jelsoft's blog add-on for one forum, and though it hasn't really been used much I'm not sure yet what I'll do when vB switches over to offering a fully loaded CMS version. I don't like the idea of paying so much more for it when I only use the blog, but I don't like the idea of backpedaling on features (especially not when I've already paid for it). Maybe the blog software will still work with the new version and I won't have to upgrade to the full CMS?

    I'm sure that when they release vB 4, the blog will either be compatible, or they'll have an upgrade out very soon after.

    As for the CMS, I'll have to check it out first on a test forum before I can decide if I'll purchase it or not.

    If I have to buy the full suite just to get the CMS, as it is rumored, then no. But if I can acquire the CMS for a very low price, then I will consider it.

    Yeah same here. I'm really hoping that they'll continue to sell the add-ons ala carte.

    I'm fairly confident they are going to discontinue the ala carte purchasing options, but we will see.

    With the release of vBulletin 4, I am highly considering buying everything they have to offer and spending a lot of time creating a brand new project from scratch, using only vBulletin and modifications/plugins.

    I am thinking the same as you Savage. And my new project will be the entertainment forum.

    Same here. Buying a full-fledged CMS just seems like overkill for many sites, when I just want the blog feature.
