    So apparently the vBulletin team has been telling people that the people who were banned received multiple warnings. I received none, whatsoever, in any form. So now, in addition to all of the extremely bad forum/business decisions, they are now going to add straight up lying to the list?

    vB sinks lower every day.

    What is it with annoying people with zero post counts suddenly making "blank" posts in threads? Is there some feature they are trying to get access to or something?

    I think you need to post before being allowed to send PMs =)

    Here's another blog post that I found on twitter:

    Case study: how to lose customers and destroy your brand | Blog | Econsultancy

    It's probably worth mentionning that this blog post also makes thee google news feed under INET. I don't know if it's a coincidence but their stock is down 7.80% at this moment and it seems to just not stop going down...

    It's like a 45 degree angle all morning.. ouchie

    For who?

    I'm not advertising anything. People are posting links to articles and so am I, is that a crime?

    That the article is actually positive about vB4's situation means nothing.

    Don't like kool-aid. I simply gave my own view on things or are people only allowed to be negative now? :)

    Well, sorry. :S Lately many people are being really rude, as you can see for just posting a link some one didn't find it helpful when links, actually bashing vB/IB were posted around and almost all of them were deemed as helpful.

    The vB/IB situation went from silly to just plain ridiculous(not really from vB/IB's part).

    Yeah, that's why I posted the blog post to be honest (and why I made the decision to come out of lurking here too).

    And nothing to apologise for, you weren't to know it's my blog - I don't usually link the two names as being me.. this is my "I don't want to draw attention to who I am" name LOL

    So... did this guy come up with this stuff on his own, or did vBulletin tell him this?

    Good propaganda for vBulletin though... if you make mistakes, just lie about it and say you didn't.

    vBulletin has only responded to one of my support tickets in the last week, and after the first response, they stopped. A couple other tickets have gone unanswered for a few days now as well.

    Additionally, noone from vBulletin is answering questions here any longer.

    The company has for all practical purposes excommunicated me.

    Your view mixed with lies.

    Why do you state that vBulletin never cut off customer ticket support when that isn't true?

    It is true. They never disabled access to the ticket system. Mark B. even says so right here: Azhrialilu dot Com vBulletin 4 Revisited

    Okay, maybe they didn't technically disable access to the ticket system, but they stopped responding to my tickets.

    To me, that is the exact same thing.

    Also, I have not been unbanned from vBulletin.com.
